Rustic Autumn Vegetable Soup Recipe:
This soup is a wonderful way to use seasonal produce and enjoy a warm, comforting bowl of goodness.
Ingredients:
- 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 (16 oz) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup cauliflower florets
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions:
- Sauté Onions and Herbs: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and thyme, cooking until the onions become translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add Vegetables: Incorporate the carrots, cauliflower, and celery into the pot. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, about 8 minutes.
- Garlic and Broth: Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a low simmer.
- Simmer Soup: Add the cannellini beans and diced potatoes to the pot. Simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 10 minutes.
