Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 zucchini, chopped
- 1 yellow squash, chopped
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed and halved
- 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 russet potato, peeled and diced
- 1½ cups cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup frozen peas
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5–7 minutes until they start to soften and become fragrant.
- Add garlic and seasoning: Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let it cook for 1 minute to release the flavors.
- Build the soup: Add in zucchini, yellow squash, green beans, diced tomatoes (with their juices), and vegetable broth. Stir everything together, then bring the mixture to a boil.
- Add hearty veggies: Add the diced potatoes and shredded cabbage. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20–25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- Finish it off: Stir in the peas and fresh parsley during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve warm: Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy with crusty bread or crackers. It’s even better the next day!
Notes
- Letting the soup sit overnight allows the flavors to meld and improve.
- This soup can be frozen for up to 3 months; just leave out the peas and parsley and add them fresh when reheating.
