How To Make Vegetable Soup

Full ingredients and instructions are also in the recipe card at the bottom of this blog post.

PREP: Wash and chop all the vegetables first. Peel and chop 3 carrots into small bite size pieces. Chop 2 celery stalks small. Chop 1 cup yellow onion, chop 3 yellow potatoes (this will be about 2 cups worth when chopped), and cut fresh green beans into small pieces to equal 1 cup worth (you can also use frozen beans for this).

STEP 1: In a pot over medium-high heat, add 2 Tbsp olive oil, 3 chopped carrots, 2 chopped celery stalks, and 1 cup chopped yellow onion. Saute the vegetables for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

STEP 2: Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and let cook for 30 seconds.

STEP 3: Now add in 32 oz vegetable broth, 30 oz canned diced tomatoes with the liquid, 3 chopped yellow potatoes, 1 cup chopped green beans, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp ground black pepper. Mix together. Bring the pot to a boil then reduce to let it simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until potatoes, carrots and green beans are softened when poked with a fork.

STEP 4: Once the veggies have softened, add in 1 cup frozen corn and 1 cup frozen peas. Cook for 2 minutes until the corn and peas have heated through. Now the soup is ready to serve.
