I am really hopping it is not blazing hot around your neck of the woods today.
Because I made us an awesome – and SIMPLE summer soup that is perfect for a light Sunday night meal.
I have been craving soup because of our dreary, cold fall like weather, but this soup is actually so summery. It’s light and full of all the summer produce that is basically everywhere right now.
Today is also an exciting day because I get to tell you about how I have partnered up with my all time favorite Italian brand, DeLallo Foods.
I do not do a lot of sponsored posts because to be honest, they are just not my thing. I like to keep this site, well… all me and what I love, nothing else. When I got this opportunity with DeLallo Foods I actually tried to turn it down. But then I decided that if this site is about me and what I love, then why wouldn’t I want to share that with my readers? So in the end, my love of DeLallo’s pastas, olives and sauces got the better of me. I am hoping that you guys agree.
DeLallo is a brand that I can back whole heartedly, as I love their products. I also love knowing that what I am eating is REAL food, with many of their products being 100% organic. Their pastas are incredible, especially their whole wheat pastas. Honestly, I typically do not enjoy whole wheat pasta, but when I tried DeLallo’s, I was surprised to find that they did not taste like cardboard! Their whole wheat pastas actually have flavor and texture, and they are spot on. Spot on guys.
So yeah, I love their stuff and am beyond excited to share it with you guys today.
If you are interested check out their whole wheat pastas here.
Alright, so on to the soup!!
This one is like a big old giant bowl of delicious summer health.
It’s perfect to make on a Sunday and then eat the leftovers throughout the week. You can eat it cold, but I prefer it warm with some freshly grated parmesan and a side of crusty bread.
Perfect summertime meal…well, for me anyway. It’s 45 degrees and raining. That’s soup weather in my book, whether it is technically summer or not.

Hoping you have hot temps though, because that’s what summer is all about!
Definitely on my to-make list this week. Have you tried freezing this? Just wondering if you would add the kale and pasta pre or post freeze. Thanks!
Hi! I would add the kale, but not the pasta as the pasta gets soggy if left in the noodles long.
Hope you love this!
This recipe looks amazing! We will be trying it soon. We’ve been having a very mild August here as well.
Hope you love it and thank you!
I have this cooking now. With the cool August temperatures and an abundance of summer produce this soup looks perfect. I’m looking forward to having a bowl of this tonight!
I hope you love it!! Thanks for making it and if you can let me know what you think! 🙂
I knew I wasn’t the only one who loved summer soups! This looks delicious — I love how fresh everything is in this. And a pesto dollop in there? YES.
Thanks so much, Renee!
Minestrone is the best, I love that pesto topper!
Thanks Laura!
It’s a warm day here, but that would never stop me from devouring at least 3 bowls of this delicious looking soup!
Thanks Stephanie! Hope you had a fun weekend!
I’ve been sick lately, so this is oerfect! I love the use of orecchiette and that shot of all the veggies is gorgeous!
Thank you and I hope you feel better soon!
We are in the midst of a heat wave right now where I live, this delicious soup makes me look forward to the cooler days of fall to come. Yummy!
Oh lucky you!! I want a heat wave!
Thanks Crystal!
I always think summer is the best possible time to make a huge vat of minestrone, even if it does heat up the house! You have to love all those peak-season vegetables.
I agree! Thanks Eileen!
Great looks soup! Love all the summer produce!
Thank you, Liz!
This is a great looking soup. Love the whole wheat pasta and veggies.
Thanks Dawn!
This looks perfect Tieghan! Pinned this recipe to make when it gets just a little cooler here, but boy I can’t wait to make it – has all my favorites in it!
Thank you, Kathy! Hope you had a great Sunday!
Now that is one gorgeous summer minestrone! I am in LOVE with all the summer veggies you threw inside, and that pesto sounds amazing! You have no idea how badly want this for dinner tonight with some crusty french bread. Love love the gorgeous colors and perfect lighting in your photos. Pinned!
Wow, thanks so much!! Hope you had a great weekend, Sarah!
I really like whole wheat pasta. I can’t eat soup when it is hot weather, but I used some fresh tomatoes the other day and made a small pan of veg. beef soup. It has been the mildest weather for summer I can ever remember. Humidity has been bad a good bit but the temps have been much lower. Not as cool as you are having though. Thank goodness. HA!!
Thanks Charlotte!
I have so been craving soup and just made a roasted tomato soup this week. Today it’s rainy and damp in CT so this soup would work just fine. I have everything but the sundried tomato pesto but I’m sure I can swap reg. pesto. Soup is good in all seasons in my book.
Thank you so much, Lisa!! Regular pesto will be great!
