Show off the season’s veggies in this smoky minestrone soup that’s ready in about 30 minutes!
Minestrone soup is a versatile dish that works with any season’s veggies – which makes it a great dish to make from scratch using produce from your local farmer’s market. In winter, try adding parsnip and butternut squash, for example. And in the summer, try adding eggplants or okra!
For this smoky minestrone soup recipe, we went with shallots, zucchini, carrots, celery, and tomatoes (all ingredients you can usually find year-round) wrapped in a warm broth. This smoky version of minestrone soup kicks up the flavor by adding smoked paprika and smoked sea salt. You can choose to add chicken stock as a base, for a rich flavor, or vegetable stock for a lighter broth.
