Quick Minestrone Soup

I love Sadia's recipe! But this one, it got me wowed by the first sips. Amazing, fall-feeling, soothing recipe. The flavor is so rich and nourishing. I am also amazed by the big portion vs provided nutrition. It leaves you full, nourished, and taken care of. Thanks Sadia 😀

Aww it means so much to hear this, Maria! 🥹 so glad the quick minestrone soup is being enjoyed. It's one of our favourites as well ☺️

A perfect minestrone

Just made this one. It's SO good!
Perfect for winter.

I loved it!!

This was a huge hit in our house and I love how colourful the soup was. I served ours with homemade garlic bread which was absolutely delicious!

Absolutely loved this one!

I made this recipe for the 2nd time now ❤️ It's so delicious, fulfilling, warm and cosy, perfect for cold days or days when you need a warm hug in a bowl 🤗 I plan to make it often. Thanx PUL team

It was so fulfilling! I made the olive scones to go with it and they were perfect together.

Simple and delicious. Perfect for cold rainy nights!

Delicious. Will definitely make again.

Best soup I've ever had!

Rockstar! My 18 month old grandson said “mmmm” when he ate it. That’s an honest review! I added some fennel seed-gives a perception of Italian sausage. Fabulous. I so appreciate these very tasty, healthy recipes!

PUL Team - Jan. 22, 2025, 10:43 p.m.

Aww, this is the sweetest thing to hear, Shen 😊 Fennel seed is such a clever touch - love that it gave it an Italian sausage vibe and that your grandson enjoyed it!

Love the fennel idea. I always use it in my spaghetti sauce

Lovely soup. I made some changes: cooked orzo separately and added at end. Used a bag of frozen peas and carrots to save time. Used veggie paste and not cubes. Added a big handful of spinach at the end. Very good! Will make again.

I agree. It's really delicious. The dill makes it so yummy!

So tasteful, we love it at home !

This was excellent with dill in it! YUM!

Very easy and delicious!

Très savoureux !

Ich liebs :)

I absolutely loved this recipe ❤
The soup is so tasty and delicious, it gives you that warm, cozy autumn/winter feeling we all crave, and it's so easy to make. I'm putting this on my regular roster. Thank you PUL team :)

PUL Team - Oct. 21, 2024, 2:29 p.m.

So glad that you're enjoying the minestrone soup recipe, Jelena! Happy cooking 🙌

Easy,delicious, perfect for a cozy evening dinner 😍🍂

Love it, delicious perfect for the season

My first soup of this autumn season and it was hearty and delicious😋

I made this for lunch. It was delicious. My sense of taste isn't great because of covid, so I added more spices. My daughter loved it so much that she had two bowls. I will definitely make this again in the fall to freeze for busy evenings when I don't have time or feel like cooking.

PUL Team - July 16, 2024, 4:53 p.m.

So glad that the soup was enjoyed, GemGame AJ, and hope that you feel better soon 🤗

GemGame AJ - July 17, 2024, 10:36 p.m.

Thank you!!! ❤️

Yum yum 🤤

Wonderful recipe! Just i recommend to add olives also

Perfect on a cold winters night, love a good soup 👍🙏

I subscribed to the app after years of cooking with PUL recipes. This was my first one here and I loved it. I am apprehensive about new recipes as I am not a great cook. I regret making this in less quantity😅 This went straight into our dinner roster. My husband who isn’t a great soup fan loved it too. Next time I’ll make sure to have some bread on hand for a hearty meal. Thank you as usual for nutritious weeknight recipes 💛

PUL Team - May 30, 2024, 9:51 p.m.

Hey Pooja, welcome to the PUL App 💛 we're thrilled that the soup was enjoyed and are so excited to continue this adventure together 🫶

Delicious! Super quick and easy to make. Loved the addition of dill and sun dried tomatoes.

I was craving some chilli con carne style dish and made this instead. It was so tasty and filling and also quick to make. Makes a perfect make ahead lunch for work , 10/10 🤤

So glad I doubled down on the first try. This is delicious! My husband said it's "the best minestrone I've had" and my toddler enjoyed it so so much! And now we have some in the freezer to fall back on for a busy weeknight. Perfect!

PUL Team - April 24, 2024, 7:55 p.m.

What a huuge compliment, Anne! It means so much the minestrone was enjoyed by everyone 😊

I found I had it to cook it lomger than the recipe step suggestions, even though I cut my veggies really small and had a good simmer / boil going. Still easy and quick and tasty.

Comfort food ❤️

Easy and delicious soup. I’m just learning to use the app & it seems great.

Delicious!

So quick and so delicious! Family enjoyed with a great loaf of bread and a salad.

I repeat this meal every week. It’s lovely

Simple to make and delicious. I added a little more pasta and left over celery stalk.

Another great dish! This soup was also approved by my picky non-plant based family!

This was spectacular! My spouse and I absolutely adored having this for lunch. Simple to make, no need for extra salt, just overall a great recipe. Thanks PUL! <3

PUL Team - Feb. 22, 2024, 9:57 p.m.

Thank you, Maja, so glad the soup was enjoyed!

This recipe has become a staple in our home! Thank you for making such a nutritious soup so easy! We add mushrooms and curly kale. Thank you!

PUL Team - Feb. 19, 2024, 12:53 a.m.

Gotta love nourishing soups 🥰 thanks for taking the time to share your experience with it, Alex!

I am usually not a fan of minestrone soup but the flavours in this one are so good! I used quinoa instead of pasta and white beans instead of red. I was able to make it in just a few minutes during my lunch break while working from home with ingredients I already had. Thank you!

PUL Team - Feb. 13, 2024, 12:08 a.m.

Woohoo! We're so happy that the minestrone was enjoyed, Angela, thank you :)

great recipe, it will surely excel to the family's favorites 👏🫶

Good for a quick evening meal.

Made this during a lunch break at work twice now - what a great option! Definitely a go to. I used chickpea noodles for a little added protein & it worked great.

Delicious recipe! I cooked and stored the pasta separately so that the soup kept better for leftovers. This way you can also customize how much pasta you want in your bowl. The flavour was even more delicious on day 2. Will make again.

PUL Team - Jan. 31, 2024, 7:32 a.m.

Such a lovely idea, Erika! Thanks a bunch for taking the time to share your experience with the soup 🤗

I needed to make something quick so I made this. I eliminated the pasta so it was even faster. It was so good. Was a winner with the whole family.

PUL Team - Jan. 26, 2024, 5:31 p.m.

Ooo a lovely idea to speed it up, Joyce! We’re glad the soup was enjoyed :)

I just made this for dinner tonight. It’s absolutely delicious! Thank you.

I made this on a cabin trip in the mountains, it is so warming and delicious. Everyone loved it. Would definitely make this again and again.

PUL Team - Jan. 23, 2024, 1:49 a.m.

Aww sounds so lovely, Karoline, thank you!

Love that recipe, made it the second time already. Both times, I felt the amount of pasta was a little off so I added more and both times I realized that 1/2 cup would have been totally fine. Made some note to myself - love that function! Is there any way to show the notes below the ingredients too, since I often jump from there directly to the Make-Button (which is another function I love to use!).
Thank you for your hard work, the app is amazing!

PUL Team - Jan. 21, 2024, 11:22 p.m.

Hey Hannah, thanks for sharing your experience with the recipe! The pasta is indeed a little deceiving because it expands when cooked. At the moment the personal notes are only available on the directions tab and at the end of the "Make" step-by-step instructions. We've jotted down the idea to help us improve though :D

It's super easy and fast to make. For me is a comfort food.

Very rich flavour. You can't miss sun dried tometo.

Yum recipe! I used frozen corns instead of peas!

Delicious soup. Very warmful in colder month. Very tasty in flavour. Another good recipe to had in my book

PUL Team - Jan. 15, 2024, 7:11 p.m.

We're so glad that the Quick Minestrone Soup is being enjoyed, Magalie, thank you! 🤗

Amazing dish, taste dreamy and o
Perfect for cold weather. 😁

Super easy and quick to make! It did end up taking 35minutes when including the time to open cans and chop up the carrots. I'm always skeptical of soups but this one really hits the mark. I didn't have bouillon cubes, do bouillon paste worked just as well!

Super! ❤️

This was a really tasty recipe! Didn't have any Oregano, I used Bohnenkraut, Rosemary and an Italian spice Mix instead. Turned out great with glutenfree Penne as well

Amazing soup it’s like a one pot meal, I added few florets of broccoli, celery and cabbage half cup. Loved your recipe. Thank you

PUL Team - Jan. 5, 2024, 9:08 p.m.

Mmm delicious additions, Manisha, thank you! 😊

Simple and easy recipe toddlers and grown-ups went for seconds. Added corn and other miscellaneous chopped vegetables we needed to get through. Also added a couple of pinches of salt.

The quickest most yummy minestrone ever!

Even with almost zero energy this January 1st, I still managed to make this with no effort. It's, easy, fast, filling and delicious.

PUL Team - Jan. 3, 2024, 6:43 p.m.

Woohoo! Cheers to many more easy, delicious, and satisfying meals this year, Iman 😃

This was great! We didn’t have whole wheat bread, but we toasted up some garlic bread on the side and it was a good complement!

Verrry tasty as is, but next time, I think I might try adding some red pepper flakes along with the other spices to give it a kick!

PUL Team - Jan. 3, 2024, 6:42 p.m.

Garlic bread is a lovely idea, Meredith, thank you! So happy that the Quick Minestrone Soup was enjoyed ☺️

Absolutely delicious! My first recipe from the app. Perfect!

this was AMAZING. of course, as is anything form PUL. i used fire roasted tomatoes as that’s what we had and it came great!

Wouldnt it be better to use fresh over canned.i dont want to use much processed food.But not sure of replacing it with what quantities

PUL Team - Jan. 3, 2024, 1:40 a.m.

Hey Parul, thanks for the question! We use canned tomatoes in some dishes, mainly when the tomato is cooked down, because they're picked at peak ripeness which offers a consistent taste and they also offer a consistent acidity. They're convenient to have on hand as well. You're of course more than welcome to use fresh tomatoes if you'd like though - I'd say about 3 - 4 medium tomatoes should do - and just adjust the recipe to taste. We hope this helps for now and happy cooking 🤗

Parul Goyal - Jan. 3, 2024, 3:50 p.m.

Thank u :)

Lovely delicious quick soup 👌☺️ the only thing I changed was the vegetable stock cubes, I reduced it to 1.5

First recipe that I tried from the app and it's a winner! Paired it with roasted sweet potato and garlic bread. Even the fussy eaters enjoyed it.

PUL Team - Dec. 19, 2023, 4:21 a.m.

Woohoo! So happy to hear, Twinkle, thank you. Excited to continue this culinary adventure together 🤗

Best Minestrone soup ever. Ever my husband, who is not vegetarian at all, liked it!

PUL Team - Dec. 15, 2023, 1:37 a.m.

A huuuuge compliment, Ingrid! We're smiling from ear to ear ☺️

This was delicious! Made this for my family and they ALL loved it!

So flavorful & delicious! I wouldn’t change a thing. The perfect minestrone

So flavorful and delicious! And as a side benefit I learned how to open a can with a broken off pull tab😂

So hearty and delicious!

Don’t skip the fresh dill garnish. It’s so good!

Quick and easy to make, but tastes really rich and cozy!

Amazing!!!

Loved this! Easy, quick and delicious 😋

Delicious, I substituted in corn for the peas since I didn’t have and then I sprinkled a little nutritional yeast on top.

Delicious, and so quick and easy.

Very quick and easy. Could easily add left over vegetables to clean out the fridge.

So delicious, tomatoe-y and comforting. The peas popping in your mouth 😮‍💨

I guess the initial step could benefit from some patience and slowness to get the onion sweeter, but then it wouldn’t be a quick soup.

PS: it’s good with rice and white beans. Does not need salt. Black pepper goes well. Next time I’m throwing in some cayenne 😁

PUL Team - Oct. 5, 2023, 7:55 a.m.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the soup, María 😊

Love this soup, a nice easy recipe that comes together quickly and tastes delicious 👌

Delicious once again can’t fault any recipe on this app

Love love looveeee this recipe! It has quickly become a weekend staple 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Just made this and loved it!!! Added fresh spinach and a bit of honey because i felt it needed a touch of sweetness! 😍 delicious

Easy and. Tasty recipe. I add a can of coconut milk just to be more creamy.

Very good soup!

How to make these pasta dishes without the starch draining all the broth?

PUL Team - Aug. 14, 2023, 6:13 a.m.

Hey Sofia, stirring throughout really helps, but you could cook the pasta separately and add it after it's cooked if you prefer. This might help 😊

Sofia - Oct. 30, 2023, 6:50 p.m.

Thank you, will look at cooking the pasta separately.

Simple and delicious, comes together quickly. Great with crusty bread!

The house smells incredible! Love this recipe

Such a quick, easy and tasteful recipe. Ingredients are are simple and pretty much everything I had on hand! This is definitely going to be a regular dish in my household!

PUL Team - July 26, 2023, 10:23 p.m.

So happy the soup is being enjoyed, Sina - thank you 🤗

Quick, easy, yummy. Love it

This is so delicious and for me tastes exactly the same as I remember minestrone soup. I can literally have this for breakfast lunch and dinner.

Delicious! So quick and easy - you definitely will get a good “bang for your buck” when it comes to time/effort spent and the reward of a hearty, nutritious meal!

PUL Team - July 6, 2023, 2:37 a.m.

Woop woop! Thank you, Lee 😃

This soup was so good! We loved how the pasta was just a component and didn’t take over the dish. The flavor and variety of ingredients made the soup both familiar and complex.

Easy to make and very tasty. One of my new go-to recipes for a quick dinner when time is short

PUL Team - June 8, 2023, 7:30 p.m.

Woohoo! Thanks, Ania 😊

Great flavor! I made it with carrots, zucchini and one turnip I had left in the fridge and it was super tasty. The only thing is I swaped the pasta with spaghettis pastas and it drank all the bouillon. At the end it was more like a spaghettis with a minestrone sauce than a soup but it tasted very good 😆. Next Time I will put less pasta in the bouillon.

PUL Team - April 17, 2023, 12:45 a.m.

Hey Julie, thanks for sharing your experience with the recipe! Who doesn't love spaghetti with a side of minestrone 😉

So tasty and really hearty. Great flavour and a perfect warm mean when it’s cold out!

Delicious on a cold day, great depth of flavour. You can change around the vegetables depending on what you have available but I love the recipe as is!
