Dairy Free & Grain Free Minestrone Soup

dairy free grain free minestrone soup

If you have been a reader for the past 1.5 years, then you know that I looooooove my soup recipes. I’ve tried my hardest to focus on summer salads and such over this past season. However, now that it is September and Autumn is attempting to make an appearance like a tiny dog trying to jump up on a couch, it’s time for SOUP.

Today’s soup recipe is a dairy free and grain free minestrone soup. I know typically with minestrone you need the noodles and that you typically put Greek yogurt or sour cream in it for creamy flavor… but I am here to say that you can make it without! 

My veggie stars of this recipe are tomatoes, carrots, mushrooms, celery and green beans. My protein is white cannelloni beans, and my cheesy flavor comes from nutritional yeast. So let’s dig in to this warming soup and get our cozy socks on and embrace my second favorite season, FALL!

Bon appetite!
