Golden Vegetable Soup

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes

This Golden Vegetable Soup is a vibrant, nourishing blend of potatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, and fresh turmeric, all simmered to perfection. It’s an easy, vegan-friendly soup that’s both comforting and packed with immune-boosting ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 4-5 potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 each of red, green, and yellow bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1/2 leek, thinly sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped
  • 1 small piece fresh turmeric, grated (or 1/2 tsp ground turmeric)
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Fresh mint, for garnish
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prep and Sauté: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and leek, and sauté until they’re soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add Vegetables: Add the potatoes, bell peppers, carrot, zucchini, celery, and grated fresh turmeric. Stir everything together, letting the flavors combine for another 3-4 minutes.
  3. Season and Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes or until all the vegetables are tender.
  4. Blend (Optional): For a creamy texture, use an immersion blender to blend some or all of the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can blend half of the soup and mix it back in for a chunky yet creamy consistency.
  5. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley and mint, and squeeze a bit of lemon juice on top for brightness.
  6. Enjoy! Serve with a side of crusty bread for a cozy meal.

Notes

  • Sauté for Flavor Depth: Start by sautéing the onions, garlic, and leeks until golden to bring out a rich, aromatic base before adding other ingredients.
  • Blend for Creaminess: For a creamier texture, blend half the soup with an immersion blender or a traditional blender, then mix it back in with the rest.
  • Season with Fresh Herbs and Lemon: Top each bowl with a sprinkle of parsley, mint, and a squeeze of lemon juice right before serving for a bright, fresh finish.
