Green Minestrone
I like pasta and broth and this soup is light. but packs a nutritional punch with the addition of kale, zucchini and peas.
I use gluten free pasta, kinnikinik brand because it sees to hold together best of the ones I’ve tried. But if you have a favorite, go with it. If you’re staying away from pasta all together, just omit it from the recipe or add a whole grain like barley or farro.
Let me know if you give it a try.
