Print Recipe

A comforting and creamy vegetable soup, perfect for cozy evenings and family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 carrots, chopped
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup green beans, chopped
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (such as thyme or parsley) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  2. Add the veggies: Toss in the chopped carrots and celery, stirring occasionally. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
  3. Bring in the colorful crew: Add the zucchini, bell pepper, and green beans to the pot. Stir well and let them cook for another 3-4 minutes until they’re vibrant and tender.
  4. Pour in the broth: Carefully add the vegetable broth, covering all the vegetables. Increase the heat until it reaches a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Cream it up: Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Season to perfection: Taste your soup and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Blend if desired: If you prefer a smooth texture, blend half or all of the soup using an immersion blender.
  8. Serve and garnish: Ladle your soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped herbs.

Notes

Serve with crusty bread or a simple salad. A drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of grated cheese just before serving enhances the flavor.
