Ingredients

  • 1 yellow onion
  • 3-4 cloves garlic
  • 1 large gold potato (about 1 1/2 cups diced)
  • 2 small/medium carrots (or 1 large)
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 3-4 tomatoes
  • 5 oz. green beans (about 1 heaping cup cut)
  • 2 ears sweet corn
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 2/3 cup fresh herbs (I use basil + parsley)
Optional but recommended:
  • 1 Tbsp. white miso (to stir in at end)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare vegetables: Dice onion, potato, carrot, zucchini and tomato. Trim and cut green beans into about 1-inch pieces. Carefully cut kernels off corn. Mince garlic.
  2. In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion for 6-7 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. water/broth for no-oil sauté method.)
  3. When onion is translucent, add minced garlic and potato. Stir and sauté 1 minute.
  4. Add broth, carrot, zucchini, tomato, green beans, and corn. Increase heat and bring to a light boil.
  5. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes (or until potato is tender.)
  6. Meanwhile, roughly chop fresh herbs. Stir in herbs during the last couple minutes of cooking.
  7. Recommended miso addition: On a small bowl, whisk together miso and 1/4 cup warm water to thin and remove clumps. Add to pot right before serving and stir to combine. (If not using miso, simply salt/pepper to taste as desired.)

Notes

  • Variations: Try it with other herbs or vegetables such as peas, yellow summer squash, bell pepper, mushroom, broccoli, cauliflower, mixed greens, etc.
