Homemade Vegetable Soup

Soup season is getting closer and this Homemade Vegetable Soup is exactly what you need! This soup is totally versatile and you can use your favorite vegetables making this soup nutrient dense.

This soup is made with a beef broth base because I love the rich flavor it adds. If you want to make this 100% vegetarian, you could use vegetable broth instead. The extra herbs that I add also enrich the flavor and complement the veggies.

I love soup so much I eat it year round. Another healthy soup we love and make often is my low-carb Chicken Zoodle Soup made from zucchini noodles and mini chicken meatballs.  Usually during the Fall and Winter season I try to make soup at least once a week because I love the comfort and health benefits.

Homemade Vegetable Soup

There are so many comforting flavors in this soup that builds up from simmering together. This Homemade Vegetable Soup is basically a bowl full of vitamins because it’s packed with tons of veggies.

Some other vegetables you can add instead of the ones I added are sweet potatoes, butternut squash, bell peppers, zucchini, fresh greens such as spinach or kale, and mushrooms.

I love making a this big pot of soup during the Fall or when either my husband or I feels like we’re getting a cold because this soup is so nourishing.  

My favorite way to enjoy this soup is with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and with crusty bread (like my Olive and Herb Focaccia) or toasted sourdough bread.

I once made this soup for one of my closest friends who underwent surgery earlier this year and I wanted to help make her life easier as she is a wife and Momma of 3 little ones- so she has her hands full. This soup was perfect for her and her family during that time! I made a large batch and froze it for her for a quick, easy and comforting dinner.

LEFTOVERS

This soup makes the best leftovers! Infact, I prefer leftovers on this soup because I feel like all of the flavors really had a chance to come together. Store this soup in the refrigerator for about 4 days. You could also freeze this soup for up to 3-4 months. I love freezing them in smaller portions. Just defrost and reheat when ready!

    Nothing beats the taste of homemade soup. You can’t get this out of a can. With the cooler weather on the way, soup is going to be a staple in the kitchen for several months.
