This healthy Garden Vegetable Soup is packed with veggies and flavor. It makes a great side dish or light lunch.

I have a confession. I do not have a vegetable garden, but if I did, these are the vegetables I would grow. I love to include cauliflower, zucchini, tomatoes, carrots, and celery to so many different recipes. If only I had a green thumb...

This Garden Vegetable Soup recipe was inspired by Ellie Krieger's "Tuscan Vegetable Soup" from the Food Network. I changed out the beans for cauliflower and the amounts of some of the ingredients.

How to Make Garden Vegetable Soup

Sauté onions in a pan until translucent. Add vegetables and herbs. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

Add broth and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until tomatoes are tender. Stir in balsamic vinegar.

Tips

Check seasonings. You may want more or less than I have listed.
Chop veggies the same size for even cooking and appearance.
Cook vegetables until they are the desired tenderness.
For a variation, add white beans or pasta, just keep in mind the ratio of liquid to the rest of the ingredients. You may want to omit some of the veggies or add more stock. If you add more stock you may want to add more seasonings.
Serve with nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
