Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups Mixed vegetables (carrots, celery, potatoes, peas, green beans)
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 6 cups Vegetable broth
  • 14.5 oz Diced tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Black pepper
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chop all your vegetables, including carrots, celery, potatoes, onion, and mince the garlic. This step ensures everything cooks evenly and prepares your ingredients for the soup.
Cooking the Soup
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, then add the chopped onion and cook until softened, which usually takes about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the remaining chopped vegetables (carrots, celery, potatoes, peas, green beans) to the pot, pour in the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes, then season with salt and pepper.
  3. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, then ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can roast some of the harder vegetables like carrots and potatoes before adding them to the soup. Feel free to customize with your favorite seasonal vegetables or a pinch of your preferred herbs like thyme or bay leaf for an aromatic twist.
