Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 medium zucchini, chopped
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your equipment by placing a large soup pot over medium heat and adding the olive oil.
- Combine ingredients by adding the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for about 3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
- Prepare your cooking vessel by stirring in the carrots, celery, and potatoes so they begin to absorb the aromatic oil.
- Assemble the dish by pouring in the vegetable broth and adding zucchini, green beans, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Cook to perfection by bringing the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Finishing touches include stirring in the fresh parsley and tasting the broth to adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve and enjoy by ladling the soup into bowls while hot and fragrant.
Notes
- For extra brightness, add a small squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
- The soup tastes even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop.
- If the soup becomes too thick during storage, add a splash of vegetable broth when reheating.
