Hearty Vegetable Soup Recipe

Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables

Wash and dice all the vegetables (onion, carrots, zucchinis, potatoes, and bell pepper) to make them uniform in size for even cooking vegetable soup

1. Sauté the Aromatics

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent and fragrant.

1. Add the Vegetables

Add the diced carrots, zucchinis, potatoes, and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for another 5 minutes to slightly soften the vegetables.

1. Add Broth and Seasoning

Pour in the vegetable broth (or water) and bring the mixture to a boil. Add salt, black pepper, and thyme (or other herbs).

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.

1. Add Peas and Final Touches

Add the green peas and let them cook for 5 more minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

1. Serve

Ladle the vegetable soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro, and serve warm with crusty bread.
