Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion diced (about 1 cup)
  • 2 carrots peeled and sliced (1 cup)
  • 2 celery stalks chopped (1 cup)
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 zucchini diced (1 cup)
  • 1 yellow squash diced (1 cup)
  • 2 medium potatoes peeled and cubed (2 cups)
  • 1 can 14 oz diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups vegetable broth low-sodium
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup fresh spinach chopped
  • 1 cup frozen green beans
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Instructions
 

Prep the Aromatics

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes until soft. Stir in minced garlic. Sauté 1 more minute until fragrant. This base builds deep flavor fast.

Add Summer Veggies

  • Toss in diced zucchini and yellow squash. Stir well. Cook for 3-4 minutes. The veggies soften and release juices. This step keeps everything fresh and bright.

Include Potatoes and Tomatoes

  • Add cubed potatoes, diced tomatoes with juice, vegetable broth, thyme, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Then lower heat to simmer.

Simmer the Soup

  • Cover pot partially. Simmer for 20 minutes. Potatoes should be tender. Stir occasionally. Check broth level—add water if needed. Patience here makes it perfect.

Finish with Greens

  • Stir in spinach and green beans. Cook 5 more minutes until wilted and warm. Taste and adjust seasoning. Turn off heat. Let it rest 2 minutes.

Serve It Up

  • Ladle into bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy hot. Pairs great with crusty bread. Your kitchen smells amazing now!

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs like basil for extra zing.
  • Blend half the soup for creamy texture without cream.
  • Add chickpeas for protein boost.
  • Swap potatoes for sweet potatoes for sweetness.
  • Make it spicy: Add red pepper flakes.
  • Vegan already? Use veggie broth only.
  • Freeze extras in portions for busy nights.
  • Double carrots for natural sweetness.
