Whole30 Minestrone Soup

No other soup screams comfort and cozy like a big bowl of my hearty whole30 minestrone soup. Its tomatoey broth, jam packed with tender crisp veggies and traditional bean element, (even though we don’s add them in this recipe –  you do you though) is a flavor bomb in your mouth in each and every bite.

Writing this post, I am currently in the middle of my first Whole30. On a couple of consecutive cold days here in Long Beach I found myself craving a hearty bowl of minestrone soup. My dilemma, that a traditional minestrone soup calls for a few non compliant Whole30 ingredients. So, I got my butt in the kitchen and created my own. I knew it needed to be jam packed with flavor to compensate for the couple of key ingredients that would be missing. Trust me, this soup did not fall short!

I added some of my favorite and satisfying veggies, meaty portobello mushrooms and tender crisp zucchini. Red pepper flakes for the nicest punch of heat that compliments the diced tomatoes so well. Something about spice and tomato that is just so satisfying, am I right!? Spice House thyme and oregano are so fresh and add a depth of flavor that can’t be found from any other brand, seriously.

I currently have about 23 days of Whole30 left and I can assure you this recipe will play a leading role in my remaining days and well after. I inhaled my first (and second bowl)

10 /10! try. this. recipe. Heres before the inhalation – this bowl did not last long!
