A comforting and nourishing vegetable soup packed with vibrant flavors and healthy ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups leafy greens (spinach or kale)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Base: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the Aromatics: Stir in the diced carrots and celery. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften.
  3. Incorporate Zucchini and Pepper: Add the diced zucchini and bell pepper to the pot. Cook them until they are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Combine with Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the can of diced tomatoes and the vegetable broth. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
  5. Season the Soup: Add the dried thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well.
  6. Bring to a Simmer: Increase the heat to bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
  7. Finish with Greens: Stir in the leafy greens and cook until they are wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, perhaps with crusty bread or a sprinkle of cheese on top.

Notes

Chop vegetables evenly to ensure even cooking. Adjust seasoning according to taste.
