CHUNKY VEGETARIAN VEGETABLE SOUP (FAST AND EASY)

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and celery in hot oil until onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Stir garlic into the onion mixture; cook and stir until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Pour vegetable broth and tomato sauce into pot. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
• Stir carrots and potatoes through the broth. Simmer until carrots are tender, 10 to 15 minutes more.

CHUNKY VEGETABLE SOUP (WITH ROASTED ROOT VEGGIES)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Place root veggies into a large bowl and add cloves of garlic, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, rosemary, thyme, 3/4 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Toss to combine.
• Grab a large sheet pan sheet (or use two smaller ones) and spread 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over to lightly grease. Spread veggies and garlic out onto the sheet pan and roast for 30 minutes or until tender, stirring halfway through cooking. Once veggies and garlic are cooked, carefully remove from the oven and set aside.
• Then heat remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until tender.
• Once the roasted garlic cloves are cool enough to handle, peel off skins and mash/chop the cloves.
• Add roasted veggies to pot with onion, along with roasted garlic, beans, vegetable broth (I like to add 4.5 cups of broth. Use another 1/2 cup if you want a looser or thinner consistency) and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat (to about medium-low heat) to a simmer (we are just heating up the broth and beans at this point). Cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Optional: Remove about 1 cup of soup from the pot, place into a heat-safe container and carefully blend with an immersion blender. Stir back into pot of soup. Note: If you don't have an immersion blender, just mash some with a potato masher.
• To serve, divide the soup into bowls and garnish (if desired) with your favourite soup toppings. Enjoy! Yields about 4 to 5 servings.
