Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 medium potato, peeled and diced
1 zucchini, chopped
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup green beans, chopped (or frozen)
1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup spinach or kale, chopped (optional)
1/2 cup pasta or rice (optional, for a heartier soup)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables

Start by washing, peeling, and chopping all the vegetables. The more uniform the pieces, the better they will cook evenly. This includes your carrots, celery, zucchini, potato, and onion.

Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until they soften and become fragrant. This step helps release the flavors and forms the base of your soup.

Step 3: Add the Vegetables

Add the carrots, celery, zucchini, and potato to the pot. Stir everything together, allowing the vegetables to cook for another 3-5 minutes. This will help them soften slightly before adding the broth and other ingredients.

Step 4: Pour in the Broth and Tomatoes

Next, add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir in the green beans, corn, basil, oregano, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
