There is nothing quite like a big bowl of vegetable soup to make you feel good. This recipe is one of my favorites because it is packed with fresh ingredients and tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had time to blend together.

I always keep this soup on hand when I want a quick, healthy meal without any fuss. You can easily swap in whatever vegetables you have in your fridge, so do not be afraid to get creative with your harvest.

💡 Tips

This soup keeps well in the refrigerator for up to four days in an airtight container. If you want to freeze it, let it cool completely first and use freezer safe bags for easy storage. Serve it with a slice of crusty bread for a complete meal.
