Ingredients
2 Tbsp olive oil
3 carrots, peeled and chopped small
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 cup chopped yellow onion
3 minced garlic cloves
32 oz vegetable broth
30 oz canned diced tomatoes (with liquid)
3 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chopped (about 2 cups chopped)
1 cup chopped green beans (fresh or frozen)
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup frozen peas
Instructions
- 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. Sauté the vegetables for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
- Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for another 30 seconds, allowing the garlic to become fragrant.
- Add in 32 oz vegetable broth, 30 oz canned diced tomatoes (with the liquid), 3 chopped Yukon Gold potatoes, 1 cup chopped green beans, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp ground black pepper. Mix everything together. Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the potatoes, carrots, and green beans are softened when poked with a fork.
- Once the vegetables have softened, add 1 cup frozen corn and 1 cup frozen peas. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the corn and peas are heated through.
- Once the soup is ready, ladle it into bowls and serve hot. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, a sprinkle of cheese, or some crusty bread on the side if desired.
