Easy Minestrone with Bone Broth
Today I am sharing my easy and delicious Minestrone recipe with you. It’s a cheap and hearty meal for a weekend lunch, served up with a good sourdough and cultured butter.
Soup is such a great way to pack a heap of nutrients into one bowl of deliciousness. This recipe makes lots of servings, so you can have plenty of leftovers for easy meals through the week.
The Bone Broth Powder adds an extra level of flavour without needing to use stock powders with nasty additives. Of course you also get all the amazing benefits of bone broth in your soup!
I always try to source a really good quality local free range bacon without added nitrates. Many Aussie pork farmers are going out of business because of imported pork so I am very mindful of supporting my local farmers.
I hope you love this soup as much as my family and I do. Let me know what you think!
