How to Make Homemade Vegetable Soup From A Can

  1. Open and drain the canned diced tomatoes (reserve 1 tablespoon of the juice if desired for extra thickness).
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the diced tomatoes, mixed vegetables, vegetable broth, water, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until heated through and flavors have melded. Stir occasionally.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or Italian seasoning to your preference.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley (optional).

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!
