This is such a yummy recipe!!  So rich in flavor.  We will definitely be making it again. 
Thank you!!

Such a tasty soup on its own, and the Gremolata really brings it to perfection!

This soup was the best minestrone soup I've ever had.  I have two brother in laws born and raised in Italy and have have many 'a bowl' of minestrone and though they have been wonderful - this was the best.  Every layer was- though simple - absolutely  perfect.  I did not add the gremolata but I did add a splash of fish sauce and a splash of red wine vinegar at the end with fresh grated parmesan cheese.  THANK YOU for perfecting this dish.  YUM!

This quick and easy vegan minestrone soup is brimming with fresh veggies, tender pasta, and hearty beans, all in a rich tomato broth. It&rsquo;s made in one pot and comes together in 30 minutes!

30-Minute Vegan Minestrone Soup

olive oil (extra virgin)

garlic (minced)

red pepper flakes

beans

kidney beans (or cannellini, borlotti, or chickpeas)

pasta (orzo, ditalini, macaroni, etc.)

vegetable broth

bay leaves

Salt & pepper

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onions, celery, and carrots. Saut&eacute; the vegetables for 6-7 minutes until the onions become translucent and the carrots start to soften.

Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic and seasonings are fragrant.

Add the chopped green beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes with their juice, vegetable broth, and bay leaves. Mix everything to combine.

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer for 12-15 minutes until the green beans and other veggies are tender.

Add the small pasta (we used orzo) to the simmering soup and cook according to the package instructions, typically about 8-10 minutes, until the pasta is al dente. It should still have a little bite to it since it will continue to cook in the hot soup.

Remove the bay leaves, then taste and season the soup with salt and pepper to your liking. Serve your vegan minestrone soup immediately while hot with garnishes like vegan Parmesan, fresh herbs, or a drizzle of olive oil and a side of bread. Happy eating!

Vegan Minestrone Soup (Easy!)

yellow onion

carrot

tomato sauce

kidney beans

pasta

2-3 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped

Dice onion and carrot.

In a stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion and carrot for about 7-8 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. water/broth for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)

Meanwhile, mince garlic.

When onion is translucent, add garlic and Italian seasoning. Stir and sauté 1 minute.

Add vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Increase heat and bring to a light boil.

Meanwhile, trim and cut green beans.

When lightly boiling, add kidney beans (rinsed and drained), pasta, and green beans. Stir and return to a light boil.

Then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 10-12 minutes or until pasta and green beans are tender. Turn off heat and stir in fresh parsley. Salt and pepper to taste.

Hi Kaitlin,
This is the recipe I used for the breadsticks…not oil-free, unfortunately.  But, I am oil-free most of the time, just didn’t know what to substitute to make it so.
https://www.powerhungry.com/2021/04/08/crisp-chickpea-flour-breadsticks/ 
Let me know if you come up with a creative way to make these oil-free! 😁

There's just nothing as comforting as a bowl of minestrone soup on a cool fall day!  I added zucchini because growing up we always had zucchini in our minestrone, and I added spinach, too.  This was wonderful and reminded me of my childhood!  I served this with homemade chickpea flour breadsticks.  Thanks so much for this delicious recipe!

I have made this multiple times. My family loves it! I put more pasta in it for a more stew like effect. It is now a standard recipe in our home.

Vegan minestrone soup is a delicious and comforting way to enjoy a healthy, hearty meal. Combining fresh ingredients, pulses, pasta, and vegetable stock, is somehow magical. Enjoy our lovely vegan version of this classic recipe.
