What’s In This Low Salt Minestrone Soup Recipe?
- Tomatoes, Carrots, Celery, Parsley
- Bowtie, or Farfalle Pasta – a great pasta salad noodle!
- Garlic
- Diced Tomatoes: I only use no salt added diced tomatoes, these boxed tomatoes are really great to stock up on! I like boxed tomatoes better because they are BPA free and more eco-friendly than aluminum cans.
- Italian Seasoning Blend: usually has thyme, basil, rosemary, parsley, etc. I love this bright and flavorful Italian season mix which brings this amazing dish to life.
- No Salt Vegetable Stock or Bouillon: I love this no salt vegetable base for my recipes because it has a great flavor and is lower in sodium. I only develop my recipes with low sodium ingredients so the ingredients shine. You can always add salt to a recipe if it needs it, but it’s almost impossible to take it out! By starting with a low sodium broth or bouillon, you can build bright vibrant flavors and add more salt later if needed.
- No Salt Added Kidney Beans: These 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.
