How To Make This Vegetable Soup Recipe
This recipe could not be easier to make. With just a few minutes of prepping the veggies, your soup will be simmering away and ready in no time.
SAUTE ONION, CARROTS, AND CELERY
Start by sautéing some onion, carrots, and celery in butter until tender. Toss in the garlic until fragrant.
BROTH AND TOMATOES
Pour in your choice of chicken broth or vegetable broth (to make it truly vegetarian), along with two cans of Italian diced tomatoes. I like using Italian-style tomatoes because it adds extra seasoning. Regular diced tomatoes will also work. Just increase the seasonings to taste.
POTATOES AND GREEN BEANS
Add in some diced potatoes and green beans, bring the mixture to a boil, and allow the potatoes to cook until tender.
PEAS AND CORN
Finally, add in the peas and corn and cook until they’re heated through.
SERVE AND ENJOY
Serve up this delicious veggie soup in a big bowl with some crusty bread!
Recipe Tips and Substitutions
- Swap out the potatoes for sweet potatoes.
- Short on time? Use frozen vegetables instead of fresh vegetables, so you don’t have to chop anything!
- Don’t have diced tomatoes? Use tomato paste instead!
- Adding some kidney beans is a great way to add some bulk to this delicious soup.
Make Ahead and Storage
If you want to prep this soup ahead of time and come home to it simmering away in the slow cooker or crock pot, it’s easily adjustable. Here’s what you’ll want to do:
- Sauté the onion, celery, and carrots in the butter, just as instructed below.
- Transfer the mixture to your slow cooker and add in the rest of the ingredients,EXCEPT thepeas and corn.
- Cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours.
- About 30 minutes prior to serving, add in the frozen peas and corn and let them heat through.
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freeze in individual portions for 2-3 months.
Common Questions
Can I make a big batch of this homemade soup?
Yes! Just double the ingredients and follow the recipe like normal!

- Add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor.
- Sprinkle in some fresh herbs or bay leaves as the soup cooks to enhance the flavor of the soup.
- Want a spicier soup? Add a dash of red pepper flakes!
How do you thicken vegetable soup?
Adding some flour to a couple tablespoons of the soup in a separate bowl can help thicken the soup. Then, pour the mixture back into the soup and let it simmer.
How can I make this hearty soup creamier?
Blending the soup slightly with an immersion blender after it’s done cooking, or adding some heavy cream is a great way to get a nice creamy texture in your soup.
