This soup is packed with wholesome vegetables and rich, creamy flavors without using any dairy. It’s budget-friendly and easy to make, perfect for those who want a nutritious meal without spending too much time or money. Plus, it’s warming and satisfying on chilly days.
Step 1
Boil a big pot of salted water. Once it’s boiling, add the farfalle pasta and cook it until it’s tender but still has a bit of bite—about 12 minutes. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
Step 2
In another large pot, combine the northern beans, tomatoes, carrots, green beans, vegetable broth, coconut milk, water, and sliced mushrooms. Bring everything to a boil.
Step 3
Stir in the cooked pasta along with the Creole seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let the soup come back to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes so all the flavors can blend together.
Step 4
Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, then it’s ready to enjoy!
