Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup chopped potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
  • 1 cup chopped green beans (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (for creamy flavor)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk (for dairy-free option)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), potatoes, green beans, thyme, and rosemary. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Stir in the frozen corn and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the nutritional yeast and the heavy cream (or coconut milk). Mix well until the soup is creamy.
  7. Season generously with salt and pepper to your taste.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, mash about 1/4 of the potatoes against the side of the pot before adding the cream.
  • You can substitute frozen mixed vegetables for the fresh green beans and corn if you need a quicker preparation.
  • This soup freezes well. Cool completely before transferring to airtight containers for storage.
