Cooking Instructions

  • Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften.
  • Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in chicken broth and diced tomatoes, then stir in dried thyme and basil and bring to a simmer.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until carrots and celery are tender.
  • Stir in frozen corn and green beans and simmer for another 5-7 minutes until heated through.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste, then ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the dried herbs. This soup freezes well for future meals.
