The Best Vegetable Soup

Not only is this soup delicious, but it’s also so easy to make. It just takes some chopping of ingredients and a bit of simmering until you’ve got a soup everyone will love! This is a recipe you’ll definitely want to add to your dinner or lunch rotation. And it yields a pot full and makes great leftovers!

What Vegetables Should I Add to Vegetable Soup?

You can put whatever vegetables you like in this soup, from seasonal fresh veggies to frozen ones. Here’s a list of what I used;

carrots celery tomatoes potatoes green beans corn peas yellow onion and garlic

You may also want to stir in spinach or kale right towards the end of simmering. Sweet potato or butternut would be a fun autumn soup version. I sometimes like to add kidney beans or cannellini beans for more protein and texture.

  This soup is jam-packed with veggies making it a healthy dinner choice. I had two bowls then came back before bed for a third because I liked it so much. I love that it uses half fresh veggies and half frozen so you still get all that freshness but have the ease of pre-cut frozen veggies too. During the summer when you have all the fresh veggies in your refrigerator definitely feel free to use all fresh instead.

Can I Make This Soup in a Crockpot?

Yes. To make it in a crockpot saute onions and carrots for a few minutes, add garlic saute 1 minute longer. Add to slow cooker along with potatoes, tomatoes, green beans, potatoes, herbs, broth, salt and pepper. Cook until veggies are tender on high heat for about 3 hours or low heat for about 6 – 7 hours. Add peas and corn during the last 30 minutes. This is also a great instant pot vegetable soup recipe! Use your instant pot to saute your aromatics and then add all other vegetables to the pressure cooker. Be sure to securely lock the lid, then use the manual valve to release pressure when done.

Can I Freeze Vegetable Soup?

Yes. This soup freezes really well and reheats well. Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Adding Extra Flavor – Herbs And Spices To Add

This soup has a mild seasoning blend to it which I prefer (because it lets the flavor of the vegetables shine) but you can definitely add more herb flavor or spices to taste if you want a greater depth of flavor. Here’s a few ideas of what you could add:

Fresh herbs or dried herbs such as basil, thyme, oregano, or marjoram. Dried herb blends such as Italian seasoning or herbs de Provence. Red pepper flakes will add a spicy kick. Paprika or a curry powder. Add a parmesan rind and simmer. Spritz with fresh lemon juice.
