Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 medium yellow or white onion, chopped
3 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 cups chopped seasonal vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, green beans, butternut squash, potatoes, bell pepper, zucchini or yellow squash
1 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided, to taste
6 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 large can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes
4 cups (32 ounces) vegetable broth
2 cups water
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, reduce or omit if sensitive to spice
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 cups chopped kale or collard greens or chard (thick ribs removed), or spinach
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Warm 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chopped onion, carrot, celery, seasonal vegetables and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onion has softened and is turning translucent, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, curry powder and thyme. Cook until fragrant while stirring frequently, about 1 minute. Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices and cook for a few more minutes, stirring often.
  • Pour in the broth and water. Add 1/2 teaspoon more salt, 2 bay leaves and the red pepper flakes. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper. Raise the heat and bring the mixture to a boil, then partially cover the pot and reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
  • Cook for 25 minutes, then remove the lid and add the chopped greens. Continue simmering for 5 minutes or more, until the greens have softened to your liking.
  • Remove the pot from heat and remove the bay leaves. Stir in the lemon juice and remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Taste and season with more salt, pepper and/or red pepper flakes. (You might need up to ½ teaspoon more salt, depending on your vegetable broth and your personal preferences.) Divide into bowls and enjoy.

ANY VEGETABLE SOUP



Any Vegetable Soup image

When it comes to stocking the pantry with root vegetables, most people stop with potatoes (regular and sweet), carrots, onions and garlic. And those are excellent to have on hand. But there are loads of other, more neglected roots, like rutabagas, turnips, radishes and celery root, worth having on hand. All root vegetables will keep for months in a cool, dark place, and they come in very handy, whether you want to roast up a bunch with olive oil and spices, or you want to make them into soup. This soup may not be the most beautiful of dishes, but it's hearty and nourishing, and highly adaptable, easily made with just about any root vegetables you have on hand.

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons butter or olive oil
1 large onion, 3 shallots or 2 leeks, white and light green parts only, chopped
2 celery stalks, diced
3 garlic cloves, chopped
3 rosemary, thyme or sage sprigs (optional)
2 bay leaves
3 pounds mixed root vegetables (any combination of potato, sweet potato, turnip, rutabaga, parsnip, carrot, celery root, fennel bulbs), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 quarts water or stock, more as needed
Fine sea salt, to taste
1 quart fresh greens (kale, spinach, mustard, Swiss chard), or 1 (10-ounce) package frozen greens, thawed
Juice of 1/2 lemon, plus more to taste
Red-pepper flakes or other chile flakes (optional)
Grated Parmesan or pecorino (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt butter or heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high. Stir in onion and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic, herb sprigs, if using, and bay leaves; cook 1 minute more. Add root vegetables, water or stock and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Remove, and discard herb sprigs, if using, and bay leaves. Add greens and simmer until they are tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Using an immersion or regular blender, purée soup until smooth. If the soup is too thick, add a little water. Season with lemon juice and more salt to taste.
  • To serve, ladle soup into bowls and top with a drizzle of olive oil, a few drops of lemon juice, flaky salt and red-pepper flakes or grated cheese, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose a variety of vegetables. The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful your soup will be. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, and leafy greens.
  • Use fresh vegetables whenever possible. Fresh vegetables have a better flavor and texture than frozen or canned vegetables.
  • If you are using frozen or canned vegetables, drain them well before adding them to the soup. This will help to remove excess water and prevent the soup from becoming too watery.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bit of acid, such as lemon juice or vinegar, to brighten the flavor.
  • Let the soup simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to develop and the vegetables to soften.
  • Serve the soup hot with a side of bread or crackers. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Vegetable soup is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a vegetable soup recipe that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give vegetable soup a try.
