Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Hearty Vegan Minestrone Soup
- In a large pot over medium heat, drizzle in olive oil. Add onion, carrots, celery, and zucchini. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
- Sprinkle in salt and Italian seasoning while sautéing. Stir occasionally for about a minute to release the aroma.
- Incorporate diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, green beans, and drained white kidney beans. Stir in dry shell pasta and enough water or vegetable broth to cover.
- Raise the heat to boil. Reduce to low and simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, or until pasta is al dente. Stir occasionally.
- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt or freshly cracked pepper if needed.
- Ladle the warm soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Notes
Use seasonal vegetables for best flavor. Cook pasta separately if freezing the soup to maintain texture.
