Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 2 medium potatoes
- 1 15-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
- 1 15-ounce can canned kidney beans
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional) fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat or directly over your campfire grill.
Dice the onion, mince the garlic, slice the carrots and celery, and chop the potatoes into small cubes for even cooking.
Add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.
Stir in the cubed potatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), canned kidney beans (drained and rinsed), and the vegetable broth.
Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let the soup cook for 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy it hot around the campfire!
