    Vegetable soup is healthy, flavorful, and super easy to make! I like to use a combination of fresh and frozen veggies, and lots of garlic and spices!

    Serve it with a side salad and onion rolls for a delicious balanced meal.

    Vegetable soup is healthy, flavorful, and super easy to make! I like to use a combination of fresh and frozen veggies, and lots of garlic and spices!

    Ingredients

    • 6 cups chicken or vegetable stock
    • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
    • 3 tablespoons chipotle sauce optional
    • 2 teaspoons granulated garlic
    • 2 teaspoons granulated onion
    • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
    • ½ teaspoon chili powder
    • 2 garlic cloves finely minced
    • 1 onion finely diced
    • 2 cups carrots sliced into bite-sized pieces
    • 2 cups string beans fresh or frozen
    • 2 cups Brussel Sprouts fresh, clean and trimmed
    • 1 cup zucchini cut into half-moons
    • 1 cup yellow squash cut into half-moons
    • 1 cup corn fresh, frozen, or canned
    • 15 oz chickpeas drained and rinsed
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • salt and pepper to taste
    • parsley, optional
    • parmesan cheese, optional

    Instructions

    • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and carrots and cook for 4-5 minutes while stirring frequently.
    • Stir in the garlic and cook for 15 seconds then add the chipotle sauce, granulated garlic, granulated onion, Italian seasoning, and chili powder. Cook for a few seconds.
    • Add the crushed tomatoes and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, cook for 20 minutes. This will help the broth become extra flavorful and allow the carrots to become tender.
    • Add all of the remaining ingredients and cook for 10-15 minutes or until all of the veggies are crisp-tender. Season the soup with lots of Kosher salt and pepper.
    • Garnish with fresh parsley and parmesan cheese, if desired, and enjoy!

    Notes

    • Don’t like some veggies I used? Feel free to simply omit them or swap them out for another veggie you have on hand.
    • If you don’t have chipotle sauce on hand, add hot sauce or crushed red pepper flakes for a kick!
