Let's Get Started!

For this One Pot Vegan Minestrone Soup Recipe you will need a few simple ingredients:

• 1 Onion, diced
• 2 Carrots, sliced
• 2 Stalks of Celery, sliced
• 6 Coves of Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Pepper
• 1 28 oz can of Diced Tomatoes 
• 1 15 oz can of Kidney Beans
• 1 15 oz can of Garbanzo Beans
• 4 cups Vegetable Broth
• 2 cups of Water
• 2 Bay Leaves
• 1 Zucchini, sliced
• 1 cup Ditalini Pasta, uncooked
• 2 cups of Baby Spinach

To begin place a soup pot over medium/high heat and add a little olive oil.

Once the pan is hot add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic to the pan.

Cook until the vegetables are tender and you can smell the garlic coming from the pan.

Add the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and in my case...vegetable bullion to the pot.

Stir into the vegetables and let cook for about a minute.

Now it is time to add the tomatoes,

beans,

vegetable broth and water.

and bay leaves to the pot.

Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.

While the Vegan Minestrone Soup is simmering, you can prep the zucchini and ditalini.

After 20 minutes add the zucchini and pasta to the pot and cook until the pasta is fully cooked, about 10 minutes.

Turn off the heat and add the spinach.

Let the spinach wilt and then it is time to eat!
