Minestrone Soup

This is definitely your "ace in the back pocket" for that night when you come skidding into the kitchen at dinner time and lots of hungry appetites are waiting for you. I would definitely put it in your personal recipe box to add to a week in the future that you know will be unusually busy. Besides being convenient, it is also a tasty treasure chest of fresh vegetables and fiber with a plant based protein... something your body will love.
