Warm, satisfying, savory — you might just forget that this is vegetarian!
On a busy weeknight, it’s good to have a plan. An easy one. This hearty soup requires minimal prep and comes together about as quickly as it takes to boil pasta. Mushrooms, spinach and tomatoes provide plenty of vitamins — and plenty of umami goodness.
