The Best Vegetable Soup

Vegetable Soup Recipe Photo

This is hands down the best vegetable soup recipe we've ever made. It's rich, flavorful and worthy of an entire meal. If you want it spicy, a dash of Tobasco or your favorite hot sauce is a perfect finishing touch. Don't be turned off by the 45g of carbohydrates, it's packed with fiber!

4 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves finely minced garlic
Kosher salt
2 cups peeled and diced potatoes
2 quarts chicken or vegetable broth
4 cups peeled, seeded, and chopped tomatoes
2 ears corn, kernels removed
1 can red kidney beans, drained and washed
1 can garbanzo beans, drained and washed
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup packed, chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 to 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Grated, fresh parmesean cheese

Heat the olive oil in large, heavy-bottomed stockpot over medium-low heat. Once hot, add the leeks, garlic, and a pinch of salt and cook until they begin to soften, approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Add the carrots, potatoes, and green beans and continue to cook for 4 to 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the stock, increase the heat to high, and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add the tomatoes, corn kernels, kidney beans, garbanzo beans and pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the vegetables are fork tender, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and add the parsley and lemon juice. Season, to taste, with kosher salt. Serve immediately with grated parmesean cheese on top.

SO lovely! Wonderfully warm and comforting :

yum, I like it without the tabasco :)

Getting colder in South Africa now, and look forward to this one!

how will i know if the soup is suitable for me.

It depends on the diet plan that you have worked on with your doctors. Vegetable soup is a very healthy addition to any diet (in my non professional opinion) so I think that you should be ok as far as this is concerned. Let me know if it works for you!

Is it possible too order this soup already cooked from you?
