Gluten Free Minestrone Soup Recipe from domesticsoul.com

This minestrone soup is great for using up left over vegetables from previous meals, or raw vegetables that are slightly past their prime.  If you have some cooked beef left over from a pot roast, shred or chop it in small pieces and add it to the soup either at the beginning or in the middle.  If you don’t have some of the vegetables listed you can substitute other kinds of beans, white potato, turnip, escarole, cabbage, spinach, zucchini, or peas.  Minestrone soup typically has pasta in it, but you can leave it out or use gluten free pasta.  Use whatever you have, the soup will be delicious!
