Get the recipe here: Fat-free vegan minestrone soup
Many minestrone soup recipes call for beans, usually kidney beans, which adds a small amount of naturally occurring fat. This fat-free vegan recipe, however, fills up with plenty of vegetables - including tomato, carrots, celery, green beans and zucchini - so you won't miss the beans (though you can certainly add them in if you want). Omit the macaroni if you want this minestrone soup to be gluten-free as well (of course, then it'll be more of a regular vegetable soup rather than a true Italian minestrone).
