Mark Bittman's Fast Vegetable Soup image

This recipe uses whatever ingredients you have on hand and takes about 15 minutes for chopping and 15 minutes for cooking. It's an easy idea from Mark Bittman's new book, "Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating". You can shave some cheese on the soup and serve with a crusty baguette for a quick and satisfying meal.

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons olive oil (45 mL)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 celery, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
salt & freshly ground black pepper
6 cups chicken stock or 6 cups water, (1.5 l)
3 canned tomatoes, with their juice or 1/4 cup tomato paste, (45 ml)
4 -6 cups quick-cooking vegetables, such as string beans, cauliflower, broccoli, asparagus, corn kernels, cooked beans, zucchini, squash (1 L to 1.5 L)
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (125 mL)

Steps:

  • Using a large, deep pot over medium heat, heat two tablespoons (30 mL) of the oil and cook onion, carrot, celery and garlic.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook just until onion softens, about five minutes.
  • Add stock, tomatoes and remaining vegetables and bring to a boil. Immediately lower heat so mixture bubbles, and cook until all the vegetables are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Season with additional salt and pepper to taste and add remaining one tablespoon oil. Serve hot.
