30 Minute Autumn Minestrone Soup Recipe

As the weather cools down it’s nice to tuck into a hearty minestrone soup like this. Our Autumn Minestrone soup recipe is amazing as it features plenty of veggies, is packed full of flavor, and is low in free sugars.

It’s perfect to make in a large batch to enjoy leftovers for lunch throughout the week. It also freezes well if you feel like making a double batch, then just defrost for another family meal when you’re too busy to cook.

This minestrone soup recipe comes from our 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge, where we offer family-friendly recipes that will help you lose weight.
