This fresh vegetable soup with pasta comes together in about 20 minutes and is a great easy weeknight dinner. You can use any fresh vegetables you want. If you don’t want to spend time chopping and prepping the veggies, you can get the pre-cut ones at the grocery store. I’ve even made this soup with a leftover veggie tray from a party! I’ve also made it heavy on the zucchini and tomatoes when I’ve had more than I could handle from my garden. Whichever veggies you decide to use, just keep the ratio close to what I have and it should taste great.
Directions for fresh vegetable soup with pasta
Once you’ve got all the vegetables and broth simmering nicely together, add the pasta and cook for the length of time recommended on the pasta package. This soup is also excellent when portioned out into containers for lunches. It makes for an easy grab-and-go lunch to take to the office.
