📝 Ingredients
You can mix and match based on what’s in your fridge, but here’s a classic version to start with:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 zucchini, chopped
1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into pieces
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (with juice)
6 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for non-veg)
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup chopped spinach or kale (added at the end)
Optional: 1/2 cup frozen peas or corn, or 1 can of drained beans for added protein
🍲 Instructions
1. Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until fragrant and softened (about 3–4 minutes).
2. Add the Veggies
Toss in the carrots, celery, zucchini, and green beans. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
3. Simmer the Soup
Add the diced tomatoes (with juice), broth, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20–25 minutes.
4. Finish It Off
Add leafy greens like spinach or kale and cook for 2–3 more minutes until wilted. Adjust seasoning as needed.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Ladle into bowls and serve hot. It pairs beautifully with a slice of crusty whole-grain bread or a sprinkle of parmesan (if you’re not keeping it vegan).
