One of the best ways to warm up this Fall as were getting into the colder months is with a mug of my Mother’s homemade soups! I can’t take credit for this one but I definitely wanted to share it will all you Healthnut’s out there who are looking for a hearty meal. I love the mix of purred and whole veggies plus some healthy grains and beans which make it a minestrone style soup.

Enjoy this super nutritious and delicious hearty vegetable soup for those colder nights in front of the fire place.

Notes

Healthy Tip: Use dried beans and soak overtime before adding to soup. This avoids using canned beans which can contain BPA in the lining of the can. If you can't find or don't have time to soak your beans, buy Eden Organic Beans instead.
