spring vegetable minestrone

Ok, I wasn’t really planning to post this one. But it turned out so amazingly delicious I decided to at least snap a final photo and pop it on here! :)

Don’t be at all scared by the long list of ingredients. This soup — like all minestrone soups — is so much more about the method than the specifics. So feel free to just toss in whatever vegetables you have on hand. Since it’s Spring, I happened to have some fresh spinach, asparagus, and snow peas in the fridge waiting to be used. (Along with the carrots, celery and onion that I recommend always having on hand!) But really, you can toss in whatever veggies you like!

I think my favorite part about this soup, though, actually turned out to be the broth. The combination of the white wine, garlic, and herbs, plus all of the produce, just resulted in a completely fresh and super flavorful base for the soup. And all in just about 30 minutes!

So if you’re looking for a light, delicious, vegetarian idea for a meal this Spring, this is the soup for you!!
