When the weather gets chilly, I always turn to my favorite Vegan Minestrone Soup. It’s hearty, healthy, and packed with nutrients, making it the perfect comforting meal. It only takes me 15 minutes to prep, and I can easily tweak it to make it a gluten-free vegetable soup whenever I need to.
Heat the oil in a heavy large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté.
Next, add the garlic, carrots, celery and potatoes. Sauté for about 5 minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth and pasta, stir to combine.
Stir in the dried herbs and bay leaves; bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the swiss chard and cannellini beans, stirring to combine.
Continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes or until all vegetables are tender and the pasta has cooked through.
Adjust the seasoning and stir in fresh basil leaves and dried red pepper flakes if using.
Serve topped with fresh basil leaves.
