    I love cozy recipes in the winter, and I think nothing is cozier than a warm soup recipe! Minestrone soup is one of my favorites, because it is so versatile and you can play around with the different veggies that you add. I hope you enjoy this easy and flavorful minestrone soup recipe!

    minestrone soup

    What you will need

    • 2 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 onion
    • 4 cloves garlic
    • 1 cup carrots
    • 2 stalks celery
    • 1 ½ cups chopped potato
    • 1 teaspoon oregano
    • ½ teaspoon rosemary
    • 1 teaspoon basil
    • 1 teaspoon thyme
    • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
    • 2 zucchinis
    • 1 (28 oz) can of diced tomatoes
    • ¼ cup tomato paste
    • 4 cups of vegetable broth
    • 2 cups water
    • 1 ½ cups of cooked kidney beans (about 1 can)
    • 1 cup pasta
    • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
    • salt and pepper to taste

    Cooking your minestrone soup

    • Chop up the onion and mince the garlic.
    • To a pan over medium heat, add the olive oil, onion, and garlic.
    • Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes.
    • Add in the chopped carrots, celery, and potatoes.
    • Also add the oregano, rosemary, basil, thyme, and smoked paprika.
    • Stir well, cover with the lid, and cook for ten minutes.
    • Then add the zucchini, can of diced tomatoes, tomato paste, vegetable broth, and water.
    • Cover with the lid and cook for 25-30 minutes over high heat.
    • Then add in the pasta and beans and cook for another 15-20 minutes.
    • Before turning off the heat, remove a few carrots and potatoes, and make sure that they are fully cooked by poking a fork through them. If the fork easily sinks into the vegetables, they are ready. If not, cook for a few more minutes until they are.
    • Finally, remove the soup from the heat. Add in the lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Cool off and enjoy!
