Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 cup diced yellow onion
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 0.75 cup chopped celery
  • 1.5 tsp minced garlic
  • 2.5 cup diced russet potatoes
  • 1.5 cup chopped green beans
  • 14.5 oz canned diced tomatoes with juices
  • 6 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup frozen sweet corn
  • 0.75 cup frozen peas
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1.25 tsp fine sea salt adjust to taste
  • 0.75 tsp ground black pepper
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice for brightness

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Prep all vegetables; peel potatoes and dice. Rinse and cut green beans.
  • Warm olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Sauté onion, carrots, and celery until softened, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic, thyme, and smoked paprika; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add potatoes and green beans; toss to coat with the aromatics.
  • Pour in diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Simmer gently until potatoes are tender, 18 to 22 minutes.
  • Stir in corn and peas; simmer 4 to 5 minutes more.
  • Finish with parsley and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Notes

Variation: Add a drained can of white beans for extra protein, or stir in 1 cup of small pasta during the last 10 minutes. For a richer broth, swap half the vegetable broth with low-sodium chicken broth. Storage: Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze for 2 months.
