Spring Green Minestrone Soup

For this recipe, you will need the following.  Feel free to use the herbs you have on hand in this recipe.  Learn how to grow herbs year-round on my website and don’t forget to reach out with questions. 

Ingredients:

  • Green Onion
  • Celery
  • Green Beans
  • Olive Oil
  • Garlic
  • Vegetable Broth
  • Cannellini Beans
  • Chopped Fresh Herbs including oregano, thyme, basil, parsley
  • Green Peas
  • Small pasta
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Parmesan Cheese

With some simple prep work in the kitchen like preparing the pasta early, you can easily put this together on the stovetop.  I like using my Electric Pressure Cooker because it is quick to cook and easy to clean up.  

Directions:

  1. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion, celery, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, about 10 minutes.
  2. Add the potatoes, broth, water, the remaining 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and the pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the pasta and simmer for 5 minutes longer.
  3. Add the Swiss chard and spinach and bring the soup back to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens are wilted and the pasta is tender, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in the Parmesan.

Turkey sausage should be cooked to 165*F . Once meat is cooked, move to the side to sauté onions.   Move meat aside and heat up olive oil to sauté onions.  If there is ‘grease’ in the pot just use that instead of olive oil to sauté onion.  Add celery and garlic to the saute mixing well.  Cook an additional minute before adding the remaining ingredients. Slowly pour in chicken stock.  I use 4-5 cups of water and chicken bouillon.  Cook the soup for about 10 minutes at a high boil.  Be sure to stir so the ingredients do not stick to the bottom of the pan.  Add additional water if needed.  Let soup slowly simmer for about 20 minutes or unti lthe carrots and cabbage are soft..  The soup can be left in the slow cooker on low all day and enjoyed with ready for a meal.  Garnish soup with parsley and parmesan cheese if desired.  Sourdough bread goes great with this recipe.
