Cozy and nourishing Vegetable Soup packed with fresh vegetables, rich flavor, and simple ingredients. Perfect for an easy family dinner or healthy meal prep.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons ghee or unsalted butter
2 leeks, white part only, quartered and thinly sliced
3 carrots, peeled and diced small
3 parsnips, peeled and diced small
3 celery ribs, diced small
2 small red potatoes, peeled and diced small
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
4 cloves garlic, pressed
1 (14.5-ounce) can whole tomatoes, drained, seeded, and finely diced
6 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
1 cup peas
1 cup kale, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Small squeeze of lemon

Instructions

Gather and prepare all ingredients before starting.
Place a medium-large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and ghee or butter. Once melted, add the leeks, carrots, parsnips, celery, and potatoes. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper and cook for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the dried parsley, Italian seasoning, and garlic until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes and broth. Bring the soup to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender but still slightly firm.
Turn off the heat and stir in the peas, kale, fresh parsley, and lemon juice.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

Use vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.
Add white beans, chickpeas, lentils, or shredded chicken for a heartier meal.
A Parmesan rind can be added during simmering for extra depth of flavor; remove before serving.
Frozen vegetables may be substituted when needed.
The soup tastes even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop.
