I will eat soup year around, no matter the temperature. Summer soups are even better than winter soups sometimes because all of the best produce comes into season!

There is something about pasta in soup that is so comforting. This vegan fennel minestrone is no exception. It is packed with veggies and the fennel adds a different flavor than your standard minestrone.
