Hearty Vegetable Soup

Nothing satisfies on a chilly day (or any day, really) like this homemade vegetable soup recipe.

Seasoned with fragrant aromatics and chock-full of fresh veggies, as its name suggests, this soup is hearty enough to serve as a main, but also makes a delightful starter or side. It pairs perfectly roast beef or braised chicken.

Like any great vegetable soup, this recipe allows for a little jazzy improvisation. Whether you use this recipe or the excellent version made by Autumn and Bobby Calabrese for their healthy cooking show FIXATE, as a springboard you can feel free grab a medley of fresh veggies from your fridge.

Celery, asparagus, green beans, and ever-hearty greens like kale make excellent additions.
