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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
