The only thing I would do next time is add ground beef. I am not vegan. I added a dash of garlic salt, italain seasoning, and umami seasoning from Trader Joe’s. this makes a huge batch, so I will cut it in half the next time
Can you use any other noodles besides Ditalini?
You can use whatever noodles you have on hand 🙂
This is our go to recipe for minestrone soup. It really is good and makes enough to share.
Could you make this in an instapot?
Sorry I haven’t tried it in the instant pot yet, but will add that to my recipes to develop 🙂
Hi! I love this recipe and have made it many times.
2 questions:
1. If I leave the noodles out/make separately, does this freeze well?
2. Do you know the nutritional facts per serving?
Thanks!
Yes, if you leave the noodle out to freeze for later, that works the best. The nutritional facts are at the bottom of the recipe card. There is a button that says “toggle nutritional information”
