Is this a gluten free minestrone soup?
No! This recipe is not naturally gluten free because of the pasta. I always check my ingredients (because I can’t have gluten) to make sure that there’s no additives or sneaky gluten ingredients included.
In this case the pasta will contain gluten so you can swap that out for a gluten free variety if you need this soup to be gluten free!
It’s hard to find different pasta varieties sometimes that are gluten free. My local grocery stores are starting to carry more and more types and brands but it’s still sometimes easier to just order things online when I know I’ll be needing them for a recipe.
Can I have this recipe on Weight Watchers?
You definitely can enjoy this recipe easily while you’re participating on the Weight Watcher program!
