One Pot Easy Vegetarian Soup

One Pot Easy Vegetarian Soup

For the past week I have been down for the count with a sinus infection.  When I am sick all I want to eat is soup.  And I don’t want it to be complicated to make.  I have made four pots of them in the last 10 days and I absolutely love it.  It’s a combination of a few recipes I found online and some recommendations from my mother.  I do a double batch and store it in individual containers until I am ready to eat.  Half go in the refrigerator and half in the freezer to eat later!

Another easy recipe I love to do is this Vegan Burrito Bowl Recipe (One Skillet)!

One Pot Easy Vegetarian Soup

Ingredients (I always do a double batch but this is for a single):

2 tablespoons Olive Oil (or oil options)

1/2 onion chopped

3 stalks of celery chopped

2 cloves of Garlic, minced

4 cups of vegetable broth

1 15 oz can tomato sauce

2 baking potatoes cut into small pieces

one 16 oz bag frozen vegetables- I like the ones with the carrots, green beans and corn

Optional: salt and pepper

Directions:

1.  Heat Olive Oil in a large pot over medium heat (I just used a bit of cooking spray so that there was less oil.)  Add the onion and celery and stir until the onion is soft and clear- it’s usually about five minutes for me.
2. Add the garlic (I always go a little heavy handed when I measure that- I love garlic).  Stir it until the garlic smell is strong- usually about three minutes.
3. Pour the vegetable broth and tomato sauce into the pot and mix.  Simmer it for 10 minutes.
4. Add the potatoes into the broth and stir.  Simmer for between 10 and 15 minutes until the potatoes are soft.
5. Add in the frozen vegetables.  Continue to simmer until the vegetables are cooked.  I usually go about ten minutes.  I test it by trying a green bean- if they are cooked through everything is.
