Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.25 cup diced yellow onion about 1 medium
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 0.75 cup chopped celery
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 0.75 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.5 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 cup diced Yukon gold potatoes about 2 medium
  • 1.5 cup canned diced tomatoes with juices
  • 6 cup vegetable broth low-sodium if possible
  • 1 cup diced zucchini
  • 2 cup shredded kale stems removed
  • 1 cup cooked cannellini beans rinsed and drained if canned
  • 0.75 cup frozen peas
  • 1.25 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice fresh-squeezed
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Sauté onion, carrots, and celery with a pinch of salt until softened, 5–6 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic, tomato paste, thyme, and oregano. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add potatoes, diced tomatoes, and broth. Bring to a gentle boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are just tender, 12–15 minutes.
  • Stir in zucchini, kale, beans, and peas. Simmer until greens are tender, 8–10 minutes.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Adjust thickness with more broth or extra simmering.
  • Fold in parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Variation: Swap kale for chopped cabbage or spinach. For more protein, add another cup of beans. Serving tip: Finish bowls with a drizzle of olive oil and grated Parmesan. Storage: Refrigerate up to 4 days; the flavors deepen by day two.
