Method
 

Cooking Instructions:
  1. Start by washing and chopping all your vegetables. Dice the onion and garlic, slice the carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms, and chop the cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and diced onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  3. Stir in the carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the veggies begin to soften.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and add the can of diced tomatoes (with juices). Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Once simmering, add the cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, peas, and sweet corn. Stir to combine and bring back to a simmer.
  6. Let the soup simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Just before serving, stir in the fresh baby spinach and let it wilt in the hot soup for a couple of minutes. Taste and adjust the salt as needed.
  8. Ladle the Ultimate Vegetable Soup into bowls and serve hot.

Notes

  • Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme can be added at the end for extra flavor.
  • Consider a splash of lemon juice or vinegar before serving to brighten up the flavors.
  • You can also blend part of the soup for a creamier texture if desired.
