How to Make Almost Vegetarian Vegetable Soup
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy stock pot over medium heat. Add 1 medium chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth (or chicken broth) and bring to a boil.
- Add 2 medium diced potatoes and 2 medium sliced carrots.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes and carrots are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup of frozen corn.
- Add 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 cup chopped celery (optional), and 1/2 cup chopped green beans (optional).
- Bring back to a simmer and cook for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Serve hot with crusty cornbread or your favorite bread, or add cooked rice to each bowl for extra heartiness.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
