How to Prepare Autumn Vegetable Minestrone [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Heat the olive oil in a large pot, add the onions and cook for 5 minutes until they are translucent. Add the minced garlic, basil, oregano, carrots, celery, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin. Cook the vegetables for 5 minutes, stirring often, then add the tomato purée, vegetable broth, and bay leaf.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the beans and pasta. Cook until the pasta and all the vegetables are tender. This will vary depending on the type and size of the pasta.
Remove the bay leaf and season the minestrone with salt and pepper to taste before serving it with some fresh basil.
