Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion chopped
  • 2 large carrots chopped
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 28 oz canned diced tomatoes
  • 60 oz vegetable broth low-sodium
  • 3 medium potatoes diced
  • 1 cup green beans chopped
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 2 tsp salt or to taste*
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 cup frozen sweet corn
  • 1 cup frozen sweet peas
  • 1/2 cup green onions chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped

Method
 

  1. Preheat a heavy soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add 2 Tbsp olive oil. Add chopped onions and carrots and saute for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden.
  2. Add celery, canned tomatoes (with juice), broth, potatoes, green beans, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring it to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 25 minutes.
  3. Once the vegetables are tender, add corn, sweet peas, green onion, and parsley. Season with salt to taste and simmer for another 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat and serve warm.

Notes

Salt measurements can vary depending on the type you are using. Table salt will be closer to 2 tsp while a coarser salt may need 1 Tbsp. Always add salt to taste. 
Storing Leftovers in the Freezer/Fridge: Cool completely and then store in airtight containers for 5 days in the fridge or up to 6 months in the freezer. Thaw overnight in the fridge or cook from frozen on the stoptop. Heat until warmed through.
Slow Cooker Directions: Sautee the veggies in a skillet first then add the hearty veggies, tomatoes, and broth ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours. 20 minutes before it’s finished, add the corn, sweet peas, green onion, and parsley to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
