//QUICK AND EASY MINESTRONE SOUP//
I fell in love with minestrone soup when I tasted the legendary Olive Garden’s for the first time! This soup has become a staple for me, it is filled to the brim with veggies and deliciousness!!
Soups are a lunch time favourite of mine (multiple times a week when I’m at work😳), I find them so satisfying and filling.
This recipe is easily changed as well - you can add and change the vegetables to fit your taste or even add in pasta (I’ve added 1/4 cup of barley this time!)
🌱Minestrone Soup recipe:
-2 tbsp olive oil
-2 carrots, halved and diced
-1/2 red onion, diced
-2 celery stalks, sliced
-1/2 cup frozen peas
-2 cloves garlic
-4 cups vegetable broth
-1 can chopped tomatoes
-1 can kidney beans
-2 tsp dried mixed herbs
-1 bay leaf
-2 handfuls of spinach
1️⃣Heat olive oil on medium heat, add carrots, onion, and celery. Cook until tender (5 minutes).
2️⃣Add in garlic, give it a big stir. Add in veg broth, tomatoes, frozen peas and spices. Bring to a boil.
3️⃣Turn down to a low simmer, add in beans. Cook for 15 minutes (30 mins if you add barley).
4️⃣Stir in spinach, cook for further 5 minutes.
Enjoy!!!
