    Making Vegan Minestrone Soup

    1. Start by heating up some oil in a pot. Add in your vegetables and sauté until softened. 
    2. Now add in the kidney beans, spices, and fire-roasted tomatoes. Break down the tomatoes with a wooden spoon. 
    3. Then add the potatoes, pasta, and stock. Cover and cook on low for 10 minutes. 
    4. Once the pasta is fully cooked, stir and serve up the minestrone soup.

    Tips and Tricks

    Heavy-Bottom Pot 

    One thing I recommend is having a heavy-bottom pot. This will help your soup to cook evenly. 

    A Dutch oven, or even a nice stockpot, would also be great for cooking soups and stews. You will find that lighter-bottomed pans can burn in spots or create uneven cooking. 

    Vegetables 

    It's very important to make sure your vegetables are evenly diced. That way they all cook evenly. Otherwise, some veggies will be underdone and some overcooked.

    Variations

    Beans 

    Go ahead and swap out the kidney beans with pinto beans or white cannellini beans if you want. Or try a mix of two types of beans for more variety.

    Seasonal Produce 

    Take advantage of any seasonal produce you might have around the house. Just about any veggies will work here. Zucchini and summer squash are both great additions to this plant based soup.

    Creamy Base 

    Try stirring in some coconut milk. Cream is often added to soups to get a creamy texture, and coconut milk is a wonderful vegan-friendly alternative.

    FAQs

    Can you freeze minestrone soup? 

    Yes, you can freeze minestrone soup. The pasta will be softer in texture after freezing, but it will still be delicious when reheated.

    Just store your leftover soup in an airtight container and pop it in the freezer. Make sure to leave a little room at the top of the container to ensure the soup has room to expand. 

    How long can you store leftover minestrone soup? 

    You can store the soup in the refrigerator for 4–5 days, in an air tight container. Reheat on low heat on the stovetop, or microwave.

    What to serve with this minestrone soup? 

    Reach for some bread, breadsticks, or even a salad to serve alongside this tasty minestrone soup. Even a half sandwich could be great alongside this tasty soup. 

    This gluten-free tomato focaccia bread would be a perfect match! Or check out this easy beer bread. Yum!
