Vegetable Soup
Description
The preparation begins by softening diced onion, carrots, and celery in olive oil, then cooking minced garlic briefly and seasoning with salt and pepper. Tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, vegetable broth, and cubed potatoes are added and simmered until the potatoes become tender. The soup finishes by incorporating corn and fresh or frozen green beans shortly before serving, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
This soup blends the sweetness of carrots and corn with umami from tomatoes and herbs. The potatoes add body, and the mixture offers a variety of textures from soft to crisp-tender vegetables. It is an adaptable, vegetable-forward soup for nourishing meals.
Serve warm and consider bread on the side for dipping. Season further to taste before serving.
