Easy weeknight minestrone soup using pantry staples.
Ingredients:
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 5 carrots, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped, or more to taste
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with garlic and oregano
  • 0.5 cup red wine
  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen green beans
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 0.5 cup seashell pasta, or more to taste
  • 0.25 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
Instructions:
  • In a big pot over medium-low heat, warm oil. Sauté garlic until fragrant for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in onions and cook until slightly softened, around 4 to 5 minutes. Add carrots and stir until heated through, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Combine chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and red wine in a pot. Bring to a boil while stirring. Reduce heat to low and add green beans, pinto beans, spinach, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 40 minutes.
  • While you wait, boil a large pot of lightly salted water. Add seashell pasta and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain pasta and mix into the soup. Serve the soup in bowls topped with Parmesan cheese.
