PROTEIN CHICKPEA MINESTRONE SOUP

High Protein Chickpea Minestrone Soup Recipe by Skinny Fitalicious

If you love vegetables, meat and pasta, you’re gonna love this high protein chickpea minestrone soup recipe! The best part is you can literally throw the ingredients in an Instant Pot and have dinner done in under 30 minutes. Yep! That’s as say as it gets folks!

Don’t have an Instant Pot? Don’t worry! There’s a slow cooker version in the notes below.

HIGH PROTEIN CHICKPEA MINESTRONE SOUP

Love minestrone, but don’t love the carbs? If you have Hashimoto’s disease, then you know traditional pasta’s off-limits. While there are many gluten-free kinds of pasta available now, many of them are cross-contaminated or are higher in carbs. So what’s a gluten-free person to do?

Chickpea pasta! It’s our favorite replacement for flour-based kinds of pasta. Not only are they higher in protein, but chickpeas are also high in fiber and naturally gluten-free. A much healthier alternative to regular pasta, but one piece of advice is to look for organic chickpeas pasta. Chickpeas are heavily sprayed with pesticides so organic is a better option!

WHAT YOU NEED

  • Ground turkey, chicken, or beef
  • Olive oil
  • Chickpea pasta
  • Frozen mixed vegetables
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Tomato juice
  • Broth
  • Onion, garlic
  • Italian seasoning, bay leaves
  • Instant Pot or slow cooker

HELPFUL TIPS

  • If you don’t have an Instant Pot (it is highly recommended that you invest in one or put it on your birthday wish list because they are life-changing!), then you can make this recipe on the stovetop or in a slow cooker.
  • Soups can be made with any of those methods. The Instant Pot just makes it so very easy!
  • For the veggies and meat, substitute anything you like. That’s what we love most about this recipe. How versatile it is!
  • If you do buy mixed veggies with corn, we recommend you buy an organic, non-GMO one as corn is the most genetically modified crop which contributes to inflammatory problems.
  • Hope you love the recipe, it’s a goodie!
