Vegan Gluten-free MINESTRONE

MINESTRONE

 

Vegan and Gluten-free, basically, I didn’t add pasta. I love minestrone. It’s so fulfilling, tasty, nutritious and easy to make. It can be served cold too, so no excuse to not make it during summer time. I use tomato paste in many of the recipes. You can buy it in the supermarket but, although it takes time, it’s really easy to make at home and it holds for weeks in the fridge. Let me know if you want the homemade tomato paste recipe 😉 Another delicious Italian recipe can be found here: Italian Ragu.
