Vegetable Soup Ingredients
THE VEGETABLES All the basics are in here (except for maybe a potato). Cabbage, zucchini, celery, carrot, and cauliflower are all sautéed and then simmered in a tasty broth.
BROTH This recipe calls for a low sodium beef broth, either homemade or the canned/boxed variety. Tomato paste and diced tomatoes add to the broth and give this soup a tangy and sweet flavor.
Recipe Variations
Missing a few vegetables on the list? Don’t worry it is so easy to substitute in this recipe. Try adding a potato cut into small pieces, since it takes a little longer to cook. No cauliflower? Add some broccoli or mushrooms. And vegetable broth would make a delicious substitute for the beef broth.
How To Make Vegetable Soup
A little chopping, some sautéing and this soup will be ready quickly in no time!
- Wash and chop all vegetables. Set aside.
- Sauté vegetables in the order given (as per the recipe below).
- Add broth, tomato paste and tomatoes. Simmer.
How Long Does Vegetables Soup Last?
Keep this soup refrigerated in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
Freeze any leftover vegetable soup for a quick and delicious lunch or dinner at a later date! But before freezing, make sure it has cooled completely. Once cool, pour into an airtight container, label with the date and freeze. Another option is to freeze it in a ziplock bag (make sure it is well sealed), and lay it flat in the freezer. Once frozen, these bags can be placed upright for easy access. Keep vegetable soup in the freezer for about for 4-6 months.
Best Soup Making Tips and Tricks
To thicken, remove 2 cups of the soup, blend it, and then add it back to the pot. Not only does this thicken the soup nicely, it will also make it more flavorful! Add some extra spices according to personal preference. Dill, thyme, rosemary, and parsley are all nice options.
