Ingredients

Easy Minestrone

  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 medium zucchini, diced
  • 2 red bell peppers, diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • ½ tsp oregano, dry
  • ½ tsp basil, dry
  • 1 ½ cups buckwheat (250 g), dry
  • 2 cups green beans (200 g), washed and trimmed
  • 28 oz crushed tomatoes (800 ml)
  • 3 cups vegetable broth (660 ml)
  • 3 cups white beans (720 g), cooked
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Place a large soup pot over medium heat and add the onion, celery, and carrots. Use water, vegetable broth or olive oil to sauté for 4-5 minutes while stirring occasionally.
  2. Once your veggies have become soft and fragrant, add the zucchini, pepper, tomato paste, oregano, and basil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for another 4-5 minutes, just until the veggies start to soften.
  3. Add in the buckwheat, greens beans, crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Let the soup simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, just until the buckwheat is cooked and all the veggies are tender.
  4. Stir in the white beans and nutritional yeast and season with more salt and pepper, if needed. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Any leftovers can be stored in a lidded container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • This soup is hearty enough to be a full meal but you can also serve it alongside some crusty bread or seed crackers.
  • If you swap buckwheat with quinoa, your soup will be even higher in protein!
