Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup chopped cabbage
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1 large tomato, chopped
- 6 cups vegetable broth (low sodium preferred)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Equipment
- Large soup pot or Dutch oven
- Sharp knife for chopping vegetables
- Cutting board
- Wooden spoon or ladle
- Measuring spoons
- Measuring cup
- Blender or immersion blender (optional, if you prefer a creamy texture)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in the large soup pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. This step builds the soup’s foundational flavor.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Incorporate the carrots, celery, and potato. Stir well and cook for 3-4 minutes to slightly soften the vegetables.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, then add the green beans, cabbage, corn, peas, and chopped tomato. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Season with dried thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. If you prefer a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to partially puree the soup, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Tips & Variations
“For an extra boost of flavor, add a splash of lemon juice or a teaspoon of your favorite hot sauce just before serving.”
- Make it spicy: Add a pinch of red chili flakes or diced jalapeño during the sautéing stage.
- Protein punch: Stir in cooked beans or lentils to make the soup more filling.
- Use seasonal veggies: Feel free to swap in zucchini, bell peppers, or mushrooms depending on what’s fresh and available.
- Herb alternatives: Fresh basil or cilantro can be used instead of dried thyme and oregano for a different flavor profile.
- Slow cooker option: Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours for a hands-off approach. For more slow cooker vegan recipes, check out Veg Recipes for Slow Cooker: Easy, Tasty Meal Ideas.
