Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 cup diced zucchini
  • 1 cup chopped spinach
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the diced carrots and celery, sautéing for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
  2. Incorporate the zucchini: Stir in the zucchini and cook for an additional 3 minutes, letting the vegetables mingle and release their flavors.
  3. Add the greens: Next, add the chopped spinach and diced tomatoes, cooking for another 2 minutes.
  4. Mix in the broth: Pour in the vegetable broth and water, then add the oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Bring to a boil: Turn up the heat and bring the soup to a boil.
  6. Simmer to perfection: Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Cream it up: Finally, stir in the heavy cream and let it heat through for another 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a heartier soup, consider adding diced potatoes or lentils. For a vegan option, replace heavy cream with coconut milk.
