Ingredients
2 Tbsp olive oil

2 celery stalks, chopped
1 cup chopped yellow onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
32 oz vegetable broth
30 oz canned diced tomatoes with liquid
3 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and chopped (about 2 cups)
1 cup chopped green beans (fresh or frozen)
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup frozen peas
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and chop all vegetables as needed.
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, add olive oil, carrots, celery, and onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in vegetable broth and diced tomatoes with liquid. Add potatoes, green beans, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 8–10 minutes, or until potatoes, carrots, and green beans are fork-tender.
- Add frozen corn and peas; cook for an additional 2 minutes until heated through.
- Serve hot and enjoy.
Notes
- Swap Yukon gold potatoes for sweet potatoes for a sweeter twist.
- Add canned beans, quinoa, or pasta for extra protein and heartiness.
- For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
- Use chicken or turkey broth instead of vegetable broth if desired.
- Frozen vegetables work just as well as fresh for convenience.
