Ingredients

2 tablespoon olive oil
1.5 cups chopped yellow onion (1 medium)
2 cups peeled and chopped carrots (about 5)
1.25 cups chopped celery (about 3)
4 cloves garlic minced
4 cans low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth (14.5 oz each)
2 cans diced tomatoes (undrained, 14.5 oz each)
3 cups peeled and ½-inch thick diced potatoes (from about 3 medium)
0.33 cups chopped fresh parsley
2 pieces bay leaves
0.5 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1.5 cups chopped frozen or fresh green beans
1.25 cups frozen or fresh corn
1 cup frozen or fresh peas

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add onions, carrots, and celery and sauté 4 minutes, then add garlic and sauté 30 seconds longer.
Add in broth, tomatoes, potatoes, parsley, bay leaves, thyme, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bring to a boil, then add green beans.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are almost fully tender, about 20 - 30 minutes.
Add corn and peas and cook 5 minutes longer. Serve warm.

Notes

For more flavor, add in more dried herbs or use a homemade chicken stock or vegetable broth. You can also add a corn cob in step 3 if using fresh corn. Optionally finish servings with grated parmesan and a splash of extra virgin olive oil.
