Vegetable soup is healthy and ready in less than 30 minutes! Using organic frozen vegetables in this easy vegetable soup recipe means less dishes and more time!

A family favorite healthy vegetable soup recipe full of green beans, tomatoes, corn, peas, carrots, celery and onion!

This quick and easy vegetable soup is brought to you courtesy of little C, who adores cooking with me! It is one of the simplest soups to put together with most of the vegetables already chopped and prepared. That means kids can make it and there are minimal dishes! That is a WIN-WIN for everyone leaving you with more time to enjoy this chunky bowl full of robust flavors!

It is also delicious paired with bread for dipping! Try it with homemade gluten-free bread or gluten-free bread sticks.

When my little guy opened the fridge the other week he saw vegetable broth and requested soup for dinner. I had a bag of frozen vegetable mix with green beans, corn, carrots and peas and a box of diced tomatoes. He said “let’s make a healthy veg soup!”. He is not a big meat eater and prefers vegetarian foods so “veg soup” is a fitting request with him?.

He pulled up his chair to the stove, got his apron on and poured each of the ingredients into the pot. Then I turned on the heat?. From now-on very time it is my four-year old’s night to make dinner, can you guess what we will be having?

The soup can easily be transformed into a minestrone soup quickly by adding cooked noodles and beans into the recipe right before serving. I change it up sometimes for my kids this way. This soup is also even more delicious served the next day!

Vegetable Soup Preparation

There is little preparation to making this soup except gathering ingredient and adding them to a large pot:

Diced tomatoes
16 ounce bag of mixed vegetables (green beans, carrots, corn, peas)
Vegetable broth
Onion
Celery
Bay leaf (adding bay leaf is what MAKES THIS SO GOOD!)
Lemon
Salt & pepper to season
Cumin
Fresh vibrant parsley

The ingredients are already prepped except for the onion and celery. Chop the onion and celery and add all of the ingredients to a large pot. Cover and turn the heat to high until it starts to bubble on the sides. When that happens turn the heat down to medium and cover for about 20-30 minutes to until the vegetables are soft.
