What Are Super Greens?

Super greens aren’t just regular greens. Oh no, they’re the overachievers of the vegetable world. Think Tuscan kale, spinach, parsley, and broccoli—all packed with vitamins, minerals, and enough fiber to keep your digestion running smoother than a freshly oiled bicycle.

These greens boost immunity, improve digestion, and give you a natural energy lift—no caffeine required! They also contain antioxidants, which are basically tiny bodyguards fighting off stress and aging.

How this Super Greens Minestrone Comes Together:

Making Super Greens Minestrone is easier than finding an excuse to eat pasta (not that you need one).

Start by cooking spinach Rotelli pasta for half the time listed on the package. Drain it, rinse it with cold water (so it stops cooking), and set it aside like a VIP guest waiting for its big entrance. By the way, you can use any pasta you like. Substitute whole what version or any other vegetable-flavored pasta.

Next, sauté onions and all those glorious greens in olive oil until they wilt down into a fragrant, emerald-green masterpiece. It smells so good, you might be tempted to eat it right then and there—but hold on!

Pour in vegetable broth and bring it to a happy boil. Then, invite peas and cannellini beans to the party. Finally, return the pasta to the pot, letting it soak up all that goodness to complete this Super Greens Minestrone.

The Finishing Touch

Ladle this hearty soup into a bowl, sprinkle shredded Parmesan on top, and get ready for a spoonful of pure joy. It’s warm, comforting, and so good for you that your body might just send you a thank-you note.
