Vegetable Soup:

This version of veggie soup is my absolute favorite, I have been making it since I can remember.  I love that it’s a healthy soup but it’s also really cozy, filling, and welcoming on a cold day.  My vegetable soup is incredibly simple to make using diced potatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, and a can of corn.  The great thing about this soup is that you can also use any kind of diced fresh vegetables, or all canned vegetables if that’s what you have on hand!

How to Make Vegetable Soup:

STOVETOP METHOD:

• Start by finely dicing half of a large yellow onion.
• Add 1 Tablespoon of olive oil to the bottom of a large pot and saute the onions for 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, wash 3 medium sized potatoes, peel, and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
• Add the potatoes, along with the frozen vegetables, the corn and remaining ingredients to the pot and stir well to combine.
• Turn your heat to low, cover, and simmer the soup for 30 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
• Taste the soup and adjust seasonings if needed and serve warm.

SLOW COOKER METHOD:

• Dice your onions and potatoes as listed above.
• Add all of the ingredients into the slow cooker and stir to combine.
• Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.

How Long Does Vegetable Soup Last?

This soup will last in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.  You can also allow this soup to cool completely, place in a freezer safe container, and store for up to two months.
