If we were friends going on a lunch date, we might go to Olive Garden. I would order soup, salad, and breadsticks because… this soup! The minestrone soup from Olive Garden is my favorite. So, naturally, I had to replicate it so I could enjoy it at home any time I want! This recipe is spot on, kids, and it’s ready in 30 minutes!!

Isn’t it the best when something you loooove is actually healthy?

I’m still waiting for ooey gooey chocolate fudgy desserts to become healthy.

This soup in not only healthy, but it’s filling too, and super delicious! Even my meat loving husband and father enjoyed this vegetarian soup! That’s really saying something!

There are so many veggies packed into this soup – it really is quite nutritious! If you see a veggie in the ingredients list that you dislike, go ahead and swap it out for something else. Or just leave it out altogether. Although my hubby ate this without complaint and he normally wouldn’t eat a lot of these veggies in their own. The combination of all the flavors together really is scrumptious!

Next time you’re wondering what to make for dinner, give this a try!! Who couldn’t use another quick, healthy, easy, DELICIOUS meal idea? Enjoy!
