Minestrone Soup (Paleo) | Fed & Match

This Paleo Minestrone Soup has a therapeutic broth base, Italian sausage protein punch, and plethora of wholesome greens for bulk. It’s a scrumptious, wholesome dinner choice to get pleasure from instantly or to freeze for later!

There’s a hole-in-the-wall Italian restaurant in San Antonio that I grew up visiting frequently with my household known as Little Italy. We don’t frequent there a lot anymore (as a result of, final I checked, I don’t suppose they’ve a gluten-free choice), however I’ve the most effective reminiscences of our dinners. There have been just a few Little Italy traditions that can all the time be frozen in time. First, they create you a mini piece of pizza as an appetizer while you first sit down. Second, with out fail, our total household would ask for a bowl of their superior minestrone soup earlier than our entrees. Third, I couldn’t refuse the rooster alfredo. I’ve created a Paleo-friendly pizza for you HERE (we used plantains for the crust!) and I only recently revealed a decadent alfredo HERE, however the soup was unfinished enterprise.

Minestrone soup is historically a broth-based soup that’s PACKED FULL of greens (carrots, inexperienced beans, tomatoes, celery, and many others.) and often some form of pasta, rice, and even beans. I’ve had it with meat and I’ve additionally had it with out (a veggie-only soup). After I make soup, I like for that bowl to be a whole meal (protein in all), which is why we’ve received some tasty Italian sausage as our protein base. To make this Paleo minestrone soup, I swapped in potatoes for the pasta/rice/beans, used numerous recent veggies, and even added a beneficiant contact of recent lemon juice on the finish to assist brighten the flavour with out having to make use of a ton of salt.

Vitamin Science Geeky Tidbit: DID YOU KNOW that generally, after we suppose meals wants extra salt, we will truly fulfill our tastebuds with only a contact of acid? If you end up over-salting meals, attempt including a squeeze of lemon or lime juice as an alternative. I wager you’ll be shocked by how a lot it satisfies! 

I hope you like this soup! Since making it (it makes quite a bit), we’ve loved bowl after bowl from our child freezer stash. I prefer to freeze it in particular person containers in order that we will reheat (on the range) as we want parts. Discover extra on my freezer ideas by way of my podcast episode HERE.
