Deliciously Easy Vegetable Soup Recipe (1200 × 628 px)

Soup is the ultimate comfort food. In fact, humans have been devouring soup since around 20,000 BC. With its soothing warmth, savory seasonings, and cozy associations with crisp weather, family gatherings, and evenings by the fire, it’s no wonder the humble bowl of soup continues to be a favored choice even in the 21st century.

What I love about this vegetable soup recipe is the combination of easiness with the heaping serving of healthy vegetables you get in every bowl. Since the entire recipe is made in 1 stockpot, it makes for easy cleanup which is why I love making this recipe during the week.

Feel free to make it your own by swapping out the vegetables or adding more in. If you like a thinner soup, just add more broth, or let it cook down a little further if you like a thicker, heartier soup.
