A delicious, hearty and full of color soup that will exceed all your soup expectations!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 big garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 medium onion, chopped
- 3 medium carrots, chopped
- 2 large celery sticks, chopped
- 1 big russet potato, diced
- 2 large zucchinis, diced
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 handfuls spinach
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup small pasta shells
- 1 can cannellini beans
Instructions
- On medium heat, pour olive oil on a big pot and once it is nice and warm, add the minced garlic and onion and sauté until onion is transparent
- Add diced carrots, celery, and potato and season with salt and pepper to taste and stir to mix with the olive, garlic and onion for about a minute or two.
- Once everything is nicely mixed, add in the can of diced tomato, juice and all and stir again.
- Pour over the vegetable broth (you can warm it off before hand, but it is not neccessary.)
- Add the paste shells, and zucchini, partially cover and bring pot to simmer for about 10 minutes. Or you can check the veggies until they are soft.
- Bring pot to a low heat and add beans and spinach, mix and let it cook for another 5 minutes.
Notes
I don't always add the pasta shells and/or beans, and it still tastes delicious.
If you want to make it extra healthy, you can add some lentil pasta shells instead.
