Vegetable Soup

Posted on September 30, 2024 by Musa

here’s nothing quite as comforting as a bowl of warm, homemade vegetable soup. Packed with colorful veggies and rich in flavor, this recipe is perfect for those chilly days or when you need a healthy and filling meal. It’s also incredibly versatile, allowing you to use whatever vegetables you have on hand.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup chopped spinach or kale
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Sauté the vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the vegetables and broth: Stir in the carrots, celery, potatoes, and zucchini. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth, then bring the mixture to a boil.
  3. Simmer the soup: Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Season and add remaining vegetables: Stir in the green beans, thyme, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Add the peas and chopped spinach (or kale) and cook for another 5 minutes until they are heated through.
  5. Finish and serve: If desired, stir in a tablespoon of lemon juice for added brightness. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or grated cheese if desired.

Enjoy your comforting and hearty bowl of vegetable soup!
