Easy Vegetable Soup Recipe
This Easy Vegetable Soup brings together carrots, celery, potatoes, green beans, corn, peas, and fresh herbs in a tomato and vegetable broth base. The sautéing of onions and carrots develops flavor before adding broth and vegetables. Simmering softens the vegetables, resulting in a hearty, vegetable-rich soup with balanced seasoning. It freezes and reheats well, making it practical for meal prep.
