Cooking Steps
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and sauté it until it's translucent—about 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in the sliced carrots and diced celery, giving them a quick toss for about 3 minutes.
- Next, add the vegetable broth, zucchini, and bell pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
- After the veggies are tender, mix in the spinach or kale, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Ladle it into bowls, maybe throw on some crusty bread if you're feeling indulgent, and enjoy the warmth.
Notes
You can substitute in your favorite seasonal vegetables or add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for heat. Adding puréed white beans or lentils can enhance protein without compromising lightness.
