Vegetable Soup (Recipe)

Ingredients

  • 2 leeks (white part only), quartered and sliced thinly
  • 3 carrots, peeled and diced small
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (Kasadrinos **FREE Bottle**)
  • 3 parsnips, peeled and diced small
  • 3 ribs celery, diced small
  • 2 small red potatoes, peeled and diced small
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • 1 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 4 cloves garlic, pressed through garlic press
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can whole tomatoes, drained and seeded, and finely diced
  • 6 cups vegetables broth or chicken broth
  • 1 cup peas
  • 1 cup kale, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped, fresh parsley
  • Small squeeze of lemon

Instructions

  • 1.  Begin by gathering and prepping all of your ingredients according to the ingredient list above to have ready and organized for use.


  • 2. Place a medium-large soup pot over medium-high heat, and add in extra virgin olive oil. Once melted, add in the leeks, carrots, parsnips, celery and diced potatoes, plus a pinch or two of salt and black pepper, and cook those together for about 3-4 minutes, or until they begin to become slightly translucent.


  • 3. Add the Italian seasoning and the dried parsley, along with the garlic, and stir those in to incorporate.


  • 4. Then, add the tomatoes followed by the vegetable or chicken stock, and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat so that the soup is gently simmering, cover, and allow to cook for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender yet have a slight bite still.


  • 5. Turn the heat off the soup, stir in the peas, kale, chopped parsley and the small squeeze of lemon, and taste to see if any additional salt/pepper is needed before serving.

Enjoy!
