Description
A hearty and nutritious one-pot soup that combines a medley of winter vegetables, perfect for warming up during the cold months.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 4 medium carrots, chopped
- 2 stalks of celery, chopped
- 1 large potato, cubed
- 1 medium zucchini, chopped
- 1 cup fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch segments
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) crushed tomatoes, with liquid
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 cups baby kale
- Juice of 1 lime
Instructions
- In a sizable saucepan, warm the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 6 minutes until softened and slightly golden.
- Incorporate the finely chopped garlic and continue to sauté for an additional minute, allowing the aroma to fill the kitchen.
- Toss in the chopped carrots, celery, and cubed potato. Sauté for another 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Introduce the chopped zucchini, green beans, crushed tomatoes (including their juice), vegetable stock, oregano, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a vigorous boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat and let the soup simmer gently for 25-30 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender and flavors meld beautifully.
- Fold in the baby kale and allow it to wilt for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the pot from the heat and mix in the lime juice just before serving for a refreshing finish.
Notes
- For an added boost of nutrition, consider mixing in a cup of cooked quinoa or chickpeas.
