Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 3 large carrots
- 2 pieces celery stalks
- 1 large zucchini
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 2 medium potatoes
- 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 4 cups vegetable broth

- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 piece bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add them to the pot, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Peel and slice the carrots, chop the celery, and cube the potatoes. Add them to the pot and stir for 5 minutes.
Chop the zucchini and red bell pepper into small cubes. Add to the pot and stir well.
Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
Add the dried oregano, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Stir and bring the mixture to a boil.
Lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 25 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the stems from the kale and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Add to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf, then stir in the freshly chopped parsley and lemon juice.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot with crusty bread or over rice for a more filling meal.
