Italian Minestrone Soup

A protein-packed, garden-heavy take on the classic Italian farmhouse stew. This “everything” soup features a robust trio of kidney beans, black beans, and black-eyed peas, providing a satisfying, meaty texture without the meat. We’ve swapped traditional pasta for ancient grain quinoa to add a delicate nuttiness and a complete protein boost. Simmered in a rich base of crushed tomatoes and crisp white wine, the broth is layered with onions, carrots, and celery, then finished with a vibrant double-green hit of kale and spinach.

Ingredients: Kidney beans, black beans, black-eyed peas, quinoa, carrot, onion, kale, spinach, celery, garlic, crushed tomato, white wine, fresh basil, dried oregano, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper
