A comforting and nutritious vegetable soup packed with colorful vegetables, perfect for cozy dinners and meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Base: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, chopped carrots, and chopped celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften and the onion turns translucent.
  2. Add Garlic and Other Vegetables: Stir in the minced garlic, diced zucchini, and diced bell pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the zucchini starts to soften.
  3. Pour in Broth and Tomatoes: Add the vegetable broth and canned diced tomatoes to the pot. Stir in the dried oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  4. Simmer the Soup: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Cover and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the vegetables to become tender.
  5. Taste and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

Consider using fresh vegetables to enhance flavor and texture. If you’re low on fresh produce, frozen vegetables can be a handy substitute.
