Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 onion diced, medium
- 4 carrot peeled and sliced, medium
- 3 celery sliced, ribs
- 4 garlic minced, cloves
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 3 potato peeled and diced, Yukon gold variety
- 1 ½ cups green beans chopped, fresh
- 2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes

- 6 to 8 cups vegetable broth depending on how brothy you'd like it, low-sodium
- 1 cup corn frozen

Instructions
- Saute the veggies. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, and saute for 4 to 5 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and saute another 30 seconds.
- Add more veggies. Add the potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, bay leaves, and broth. Stir together and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, until the potatoes are just fork tender.
- Add the frozen veggies. Add the corn and peas, stir, and cook about 5 to 7 minutes longer.
- Serve. Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice and parsley. Ladle the vegetable soup into bowls.
