Tomato Minestrone Soup

Tomato Minestrone soup is a classic for a very good reason; hearty, easy, and super filling. This tomato focused version is no exception; good for any weeknight, it can go from pantry to pot to bowl in minutes. Pair it like I do with some roasted salmon, or keep it as is for a killer vegan main. Let’s make some tomato minestrone soup!
