Paleo Minestrone Soup
Warm up with a bowl of Paleo Minestrone Soup. A delicious twist on the classic Italian soup, packed with veggies and big flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Chicken
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 Large Carrots diced
- 3 Stalks Celery diced
- ½ Medium Yellow Onion diced
- 1.5 cups Green Beans chopped into bite size pieces
- 1 Zucchini diced
- 2 Garlic Cloves minced
- 3 can Tomato Paste (14 oz)
- 4 cups Chicken Broth
- 2 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Oregano
- ½ tablespoon Thyme
- ½ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt (add more for taste)
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 box Pasta can be grain-free, gluten-free, or regular
Instructions
- Heat a large pot to medium heat and add olive oil. Brown the ground chicken in a pan until cooked through.
- To the same pot, add the carrots, celery, onion, green beans, zucchini, and garlic to saute for about 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken back to the pot. Then add oregano, thyme, sage, parsley, salt, pepper, and bay leaves to the pot.
- Then add chicken broth, and tomato sauce and bring to a boil. This should take about 20 minutes.
- In the meantime cook your pasta according to the directions on the package or until al dente. Then add to the pot and let simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Don't overcook the noodles because they will get mushy in the soup- just cook them to al dente before adding them to the soup.
- Make a double batch because this is a great freezer meal down the road.
