Easy, family-friendly One Pot Garden Vegetable Soup packed with veggies, beans, butternut squash, and delicious, healthy goodness. This classic comfort-style soup is brimming with health!
2 – 28 oz. cans of Italian Tomatoes with Puree (I crush the tomatoes by hand in a large bowl)
2 – 15 oz. cans of Cannelloni Beans drained and rinsed
28 oz. of Vegetable Broth or Chicken Broth
4–5 Carrots – peeled and cut into bite-sized rounds
4–5 stalks of Celery – cut into a large dice
2 cups sliced Zucchini
1 large Leek – cleaned and diced (white part only)
4 large cloves of Garlic – minced
1 red or orange Bell Pepper – large dice
3 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Sea Salt
1 teaspoon of Fresh Ground Black Pepper
2 cups Butternut Squash – Peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
2 cups Kale – remove the vein and slice into 1-inch pieces
1 small bag of defrosted frozen Green Peas
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Rosemary
One tablespoon of chopped fresh Oregano
Step One – Do all prep first, as it makes the soup assembly go like a breeze! I like to use small bowls for all the various ingredients.
Step Two – Add olive oil, chopped garlic, and leeks to a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. After one minute, add the chopped Bell Pepper, Carrots, and Celery and saute for one additional minute. Add Butternut Squash, Tomatoes and Sauce, Beans, and Broth. Add Herbs, Salt, and Pepper.
Step Three – Bring soup to a simmer, stirring often. Once the soup is simmering, lower the heat to a low flame covering loosely, leaving a crack to release steam. Cook for 40 minutes stirring the soup every 15 minutes.
Step Four – Add Zucchini and Kale and cook for 10 minutes or until the veggies are tender. Turn off the heat and add defrosted peas. Stir the soup!
Storage Tips – This soup stores well in the freezer. We use individual serving glass containers.
This recipe is a great make-ahead soup when you are having guests. It’s even better on the second day.
