Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 sm. onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 sm. zucchini, diced
2 sm. cans mushrooms, rinsed & drained
1 15 oz can garbanzo beans, rinsed & drained
1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes
OR 2 fresh tomatoes, diced
2 Tbsp. tomato paste
1 c. kale, chopped
1/2 c. brown rice
4 c. vegetable broth (I used bouillon)
3 tsp. Italian seasoning
Olive oil for sauteing
Salt & Pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Saute onions and garlic with the Italian seasoning until the onions are translucent and the spices are fragrant. Add red bell pepper and zucchini. Saute another minute or two, then add mushrooms. (If using fresh tomatoes, saute those for a bit before adding remaining ingredients.) Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer for 35-45 min. or until rice is tender. Add salt & pepper to taste. (You may need to add an additional bouillon cube when using fresh tomatoes.)

Tips for Making Rustic Vegetable Soup:

  • Use fresh, seasonal vegetables. This will ensure the best flavor and nutritional value.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables. There are many different types of vegetables that can be used in this soup, so feel free to mix and match to create your own unique recipe.
  • Roast the vegetables before adding them to the soup. This will help to caramelize the vegetables and give them a deeper flavor.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and made with real ingredients.
  • Season the soup to taste. Once the soup is finished cooking, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
