How to cook deliciously - Vegan Minestrone

1 . Stage

Cook the vegetables: Heat a large stock pot over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil followed by the minced onion, celery, and carrot. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes until everything starts to soften and the onions are fragrant. Stir in the garlic and tomato paste and cook for another minute. Add the diced potatoes and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.

2 . Stage

Simmer the soup: Add the green beans, broth, water, pasta, and herbs. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until the potatoes are just about tender and the pasta is al dente, 8 to 10 minutes.

3 . Stage

Add the remaining ingredients: Add the crushed tomatoes and their juices, along with the chickpeas, salt, and pepper and cook for another few minutes to warm everything through. Finally, stir in the spinach and cook for another minute or two until the spinach is wilted. Turn off the heat. Remove the bay leaf and stir in the almond creamer just before serving.
