GLUTEN-FREE MINESTRONE SOUP
Hi Friends! Welcome back to the blog! One of my favorite cold weather meals to make and eat is soup. It’s comforting, nourishing, often budget-friendly, a great way to use up random veggies in the fridge and the leftovers are so appreciated on busy days! Today I’m sharing how to make minestrone soup with a very special key ingredient – quality, wholesome pasta!
Pamela’s Products has a brand new line of pastas each made with only 3 ingredients and 8 grams of plant-based pea protein per 2 oz. serving. They have four new varieties: elbows, rotini, penne and spaghetti. Nutritionally they are great but the taste and texture is really what won me over! They are also gluten-free, vegan, Non-GMO Project Verified and USA Organic. You can learn more about Pamela’s new pasta here and definitely look for them next time you go to the grocery store!
