Vegetable Minestrone Soup
This is such a hearty, vegetable soup that’s perfect for Winter.
Full of vegetables, beans and risoni it’s nutrient dense, full of fibre and tastes great.
I love this for lunch or dinner on a cold day, to me it just screams HEALTH and I know I’m looking after my gut and my body when I have a bowl full!
