Delicious Ten Vegetable Soup
So it’s Soup Weather!
Soup is one of my all-time favorite foods. And although I eat soup all year round, Fall is when I really kick it up a bit!
Here, I will show you how to make the most delicious ten vegetable soup. It’s an incredibly easy soup to assemble, and when you make it, the house will smell heavenly! I promise! And if you make it, YOU have to promise to let me know how much you love it! Just drop me a note in the comments, or DM me on Instagram @drjuliemarshall. Thanks!
Are you someone who is always trying to eat more veggies, but you really don’t like to eat veggies that much because the way you cook them isn’t terrific? Enter this soup recipe. Yes, soup, especially a clear soup with vegetables, is a wonderful, and easy way to clean out your produce drawer, while making vegetables taste wonderful. And it’s so good for you!
Soups, such as this one add fiber minerals, and other necessary nutrients to our diet. Clear soups, such as these soups with vegetables are low-calorie meals. They keep you hydrated. And most of all, they taste good!
Yup, think of this ten vegetable soup as a harvest vegetable soup. Harvest any veggies you might have in your vegetable patch (or fridge) and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
This soup is actually freezable, which is convenient as it makes a fair amount of soup. And to make it more of a full meal just add a cut-up cooked rotisserie chicken. This recipe can easily adapt to any of your vegetable preferences. Just toss in what you like and skip what you don’t.
Just toss in what you like and skip what you don’t. Another key to delicious soup is seasoning. In the cooking world, there is an expression, “season to taste”. That actually means season it until it tastes good to you. My recipe has salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, but again listen to YOUR palate. If you like seasoned salt or lemon pepper, go for it. Also know that if you freeze some of this extra soup, realize it might need more seasoning once it’s thawed and reheated. Lastly, I serve this soup with grated Parmesan cheese. The hot soup melts the cheese and it really flavors the soup!

This is such a great "base" recipe!!! Add in all that wonderful veggie goodness (and deliciousness!!).
Now, when I have the kids home, if they see veggies, I get *looks...* SO, I take BASICALLY, this recipe (and it's so forgiving - have a potato that wants using? Throw it in! A little leftover oven-roasted broccoli/cauliflower? Throw it in!), but the I ALSO add a cup of lentils (for protein). I cook it all down, and then use an immersion (stick) blender, to puree the heck outta it! Sometimes I add just a splash of half-and-half; sometimes, I add a can of lite coconut milk and curry spices.
It is ALWAYS delicious, and it will ALWAYS be what your family will eat, because you'll make it that way!!! Hooray for recipes where it's, "All friends in the pot!" Thanks for the great reminder, now that it is officially, "Soup Season!!" Hooray for Soup Season! ~Chrissie
