Italian Vegetable Soup Recipe

yellow onion

garlic

basil leaves,

chickpeas

olive oil

red pepper flakes

quart vegetable broth

can diced fire roasted tomatoes*

tomatoes

teaspoon kosher salt

pepper

(or fresh) cut green beans

gnocchi (gluten-free if necessary; here’s our favorite)

spinach leaves

Parmesan cheese,

Chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Chop the basil. Drain and rinse the chickpeas.

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Saute the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and basil for 1 minute. Add the chickpeas, red pepper flakes, broth, both cans of tomatoes and their juices, kosher salt, and several grinds of fresh pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the green beans, then simmer for 15 minutes.

Break apart any clumps in the gnocchi, then add them to the pot and cook for 5 minutes until tender. Turn off the heat and stir in the spinach until wilted, about 1 minute.

To serve, ladle soup into bowl and top with Parmesan and basil leaves if desired. Allow to cool slightly before diving in!

Hearty butternut squash and zucchini soup recipe with Rosemary, garlic, and cannellini beans. Deliciously creamy, healthy, and filling! A perfect hearty soup recipe for dinner!

Healthy Butternut Squash, Zucchini and Rosemary Soup

garlic (chopped)

Salt and pepper

Rosemary

water

cannellini

grated aged hard cheese (plus more to garnish (optional))

In a 5 to 6 QT pot, add olive oil and heat over medium heat.

Add garlic—cook and stir for ten seconds to release its aroma.

Stir in the vegetables. Season royally with salt, pepper, and one tablespoon of dried Rosemary. Cook and frequently stir for 5 minutes.

Pour in the water (the water should barely cover the vegetables). Cover the pot and bring to a steady simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes and stir on occasion. You might have to lower the heat to maintain a simmer and prevent the liquid from boiling.

Stir in the beans and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes or until the squash is soft. Taste the broth and season with more salt or pepper, if needed.

Remove the pot from the stove and stir in the cheese until completely melted into the soup. With a hand mixer, puree the vegetables until you get a beautiful yellow-orange soup. Serve with extra grated cheese.

Add salt (1 teaspoon), pepper (1/4 teaspoon), oregano (2 teaspoons), bay leaves (4), and sugar (1 teaspoon). Add tomatoes with their liquid (1 can), chicken stock (10-12 cups), tomato juice (4 cups), Parmesan rind, kidney beans (1 can), garbanzo beans (1 can), cannellini beans (1 can), and cooked sausage. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered for 45-60 minutes.

Add zucchini (2) and pasta (1 cup) and cook until zucchini is tender and pasta is firm to the bite. Add more stock if the soup has become too thick. Remove bay leaves. Stir in the basil (1/4 cup). Taste for seasoning.
