What You Need for Vegetable Soup

Here’s what I use to make a pot of veggie soup:

• 2 tbsp Olive Oil: For cooking the veggies.
• 1 Onion: Chop it up small.
• 2 Carrots: Slice them into rounds.
• 2 Celery Sticks: Chopped into small pieces.
• 2 Garlic Cloves: Minced or chopped fine.
• 4 cups Vegetable Broth: From a carton or homemade.
• 1 can (14 oz) Diced Tomatoes: Gives it a nice base.
• 2 Potatoes: Cut into small cubes.
• 1 cup Green Beans: Fresh or frozen, chopped.
• 1 cup Corn or Peas: Frozen works great.
• 1 tsp Salt: Or add to taste.
• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper: For a little kick.
• 1 tsp Dried Herbs: I like oregano or Italian seasoning.
• Optional: Fresh parsley or a handful of spinach to make it pretty.

How I Make Vegetable Soup

Here’s how I put it together:

1. Heat the Oil: Put 2 tbsp olive oil in a big pot on medium heat.
2. Cook the Veggies: Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes until they soften.
3. Add Broth and Tomatoes: Pour in 4 cups broth and the can of tomatoes. Stir it up.
4. Add Potatoes and Spices: Toss in the potatoes, salt, pepper, and herbs. Let it boil.
5. Add Other Veggies: Add green beans and corn or peas. Turn the heat down and let it simmer for 20 minutes until the potatoes are soft.
6. Taste and Serve: Check if it needs more salt or pepper. Serve hot with parsley or spinach on top.

Tip: Chop everything small so it cooks faster and fits on your spoon!

My Tips for Awesome Soup

• Use What You Have: Got zucchini or kale? Throw them in!
• Make It Thick: Blend a little bit of the soup if you like it creamy.
• Save Leftovers: Keep it in the fridge for 3 days or freeze it for later.
• Fresh Veggies Are Best: But frozen ones work just fine.

Fun Ways to Change It Up

I like to mix things up sometimes:

• Add Pasta: Toss in some small pasta for a heartier soup.
• Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of chili flakes if you like heat.
• Creamy Version: Stir in a splash of milk or coconut milk.
