Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
- 2 medium (sliced) carrots
- 2 medium (sliced) celery stalks
- 1 medium (diced) red bell pepper
- 1 medium (chopped) zucchini
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 14-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 15-ounce can (drained and rinsed) kidney beans
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 2 cups (fresh) spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the red bell pepper and zucchini, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried thyme, and cumin. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the spices and release their aromas.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with liquid) and vegetable broth. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, partially covered, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Stir in the kidney beans, frozen corn, and spinach leaves. Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes until the beans are heated through and the spinach has wilted.
Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and liquid smoke (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Remove from heat and let the soup rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite bread or crackers on the side.
