Ingredients

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.

Tips:

Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your soup more flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and green beans.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs: A little bit of garlic, thyme, or rosemary can go a long way in enhancing the flavor of your soup.
Don't overcook your vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and texture. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. If you can, make your own broth using bones, vegetables, and herbs.
Add some protein: If you want a more filling soup, you can add some protein, such as chicken, beef, or tofu.

Conclusion:

Vegetable soup is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover vegetables, and it's also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. With a little planning and effort, you can make a vegetable soup that is both tasty and nutritious.
