Ingredients

  • 3-4 cloves garlic
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 1-2 medium carrots
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 1/2 cups mushroom
  • 1 1/2 cups cabbage (I love purple for color)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 1/2 cups cut green beans (can use frozen)
  • 1 1/2 cups peas (can use frozen)
  • 1 1/2 cups sweet corn (can use frozen)
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 15 oz. can diced tomatoes (and/or fresh)
  • 8 cups vegetable broth
  • salt to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare veggies: Mince garlic. Dice onion, carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms. Roughly chop cabbage. Cut broccoli and cauliflower into small bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion for 5-7 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. broth/water for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)
  3. Add garlic (and any dried herbs if using) and sauté 1 minute.
  4. Add broth, tomatoes with juice, and all veggies (except spinach).
  5. Increase heat and bring to a light boil.
  6. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20-30 minutes or until vegetables are desired tenderness.
  7. Stir in spinach during last couple minutes of cooking time. Salt to taste.

Notes

  • Yield: This makes a very large batch so cut if half if desired.
  • Herbs: Add dried herbs for more flavor (basil, oregano, parsley, etc.)
  • Frozen veggies: These work great as “fillers” if you want to quickly and easily add more veggies without all the prep (or if fresh produce isn’t available).
  • Freezing: Vegetable soup also freezes wonderfully. Be sure to let it cool completely before placing in the freezer.
