Hearty Tuscan Soup Recipe
Canned fire roasted tomatoes – what a great invention! I have fallen in L-O-V-E with the charred flavor of these tomatoes – they add character to soups, stews and sauces and look so beautiful!
One of my favorite dishes of all time is soup. I can have soup in the morning, as a snack, for dinner, hot, cold, pureed, chunky, etc.. This week I was craving something a little Italian with lots of colorful veggies, so I made myself a hearty Tuscan soup with carrots, zucchini, onions, tomatoes, pasta and beans. It was just what I needed – the soup was hearty, tasty and healthy!
One pot recipes are about the most convenient and time saving dishes you can make. They can also be just as nutritious and yummy as something that requires a lot of effort in the kitchen. This hearty Tuscan soup may only take 10 minutes to prep but looks like an Italian grandma helped me make it! It’s also a great way to use your leftovers since you can stir in anything from veggies, meats – even seafood.
Garlic, thyme and vegetable broth make the base for this hearty Tuscan soup. It’s what gives it that familiar, homely taste that can restore a tired body and mind. A big bowl of it is filling enough to have as a main for dinner, while a small bowl is perfect for a late night snack!
Some of my favorite soups: sugar snap pea soup, French mushroom soup, salmon sinigang,Japanese clam chowder, spicy sweet potato soup.
