Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 medium, sliced into rounds carrots
- 2 sliced celery stalks
- 1 medium, diced zucchini
- 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 1 cup, trimmed and chopped green beans
- 1 14-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon, or to taste salt
- 0.5 teaspoons, freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon, fresh squeezed (optional) lemon juice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots, celery, zucchini, red bell pepper, and green beans to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to slightly soften the vegetables.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), vegetable broth, bay leaf, dried thyme, and dried oregano.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the baby spinach and fresh parsley, allowing the spinach to wilt gently into the soup.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or a splash of fresh lemon juice if desired.
Remove the bay leaf and serve warm with crusty bread or crackers on the side.
