What’s In This Low Salt Minestrone Soup Recipe?
- Tomatoes, Carrots, Celery, Parsley
- Bowtie, or Farfalle Pasta – a great pasta salad noodle!
- Garlic
- No-Salt Diced Tomatoes
- Italian Seasoning Blend: usually has thyme, basil, rosemary, parsley, etc. I love a bright and flavorful Italian season mix which brings this amazing dish to life.
- No Salt Vegetable Stock or Bouillon
- No Salt Added Kidney Beans: Canned or boxed kidney beans are a really fantastic alternative to canned beans. I only use no salt or low sodium beans which gives this dish a really great flavor without the salt.
How Do I Make This Dairy Free Creamy Minestrone Recipe?
- Cook bowtie farfalle pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set pasta aside.
- In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the onion and celery and sauté on low for 4 or 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
- Add the carrots, celery, diced tomatoes with juice, Italian seasoning, salt, and no-salt-added vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes until carrots and celery are cooked through.
- Add the kidney beans and parsley to the soup. Cook for an additional 10 minutes.
- When ready to serve, I like to place a scoop (about 1/2 cup) of the cooked pasta in a bowl, and ladle the hot broth over the top when serving.
