Simple Autumn Minestrone  Soup Recipe



Ingredients:


  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 1/2 cups 3/4-inch diced Yukon gold potatoes
  • 2 1/2 cups 3/4-inch diced butternut squash (I bought it pre-cut)
  • 1 medium zucchini, ends trimmed, sliced into half-moons or quarters
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can of diced tomatoes
  • 2 1/2 tsp finely minced fresh rosemary or oregano (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 2 1/2 tsp minced fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2/3 cup dry ditalini pasta (optional)
  • 2 cups packed chopped kale (thick ribs removed)
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can of red or white kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • Shredded parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)


Instructions:


Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and carrots and saute for 3 minutes then add garlic and saute 1 minute longer. 

Stir in vegetable broth, potatoes, squash, zucchini, tomatoes, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves, and season with salt and pepper to taste. 

Bring to a boil then stir in pasta if using. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until veggies are nearly tender about 15 minutes. 

Stir in kale and kidney beans and cook until kale is tender, about 5 minutes longer. Remove bay leaves, and serve warm with parmesan cheese.
