Best Vegetable Soup Recipe

Variations

• Use ground beef- Cook ground beef first, then drain fat and the follow rest of the same steps.
• Add chicken- Such as shredded Rotisserie Chicken or leftover Grilled Chicken pieces in the soup at the end to make it like my Chicken Vegetable Soup (One Pot).
• Make turkey vegetable soup- Cook the ground turkey first, then follow rest of the same steps.
• Make it spicy- Add red chili flakes, some sliced jalapenos or green chilies, and paprika powder. Adjust based on your spice level tolerance.
• Roasted vegetables- Roast your choice of vegetables, such as these Oven Roasted Vegetables (One Pot), and then add them into the soup. You can also use Oven Roasted Beets (One Pan) or Oven Roasted Cauliflower (One Pan).
• Use a Crockpot/slow cooker- Add all the ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 5 hours.
• Make it creamy- Like this Creamy Tortellini Soup (Crockpot) by adding some heavy cream at the end.
• Add barley- When you add in the potatoes, also add in ¼ cup barley. Add some additional broth or water because barley absorbs a lot of liquid. If you enjoy this version, check out my Slow Cooker Beef Barley Soup.
• Healthy noodle soup- Add your choice of noodles when you add the potatoes until fully cooked.
• Tomato soup version- Simply add in more tomatoes and even some tomato paste in this recipe. You can even start with this Tomato Basil Soup Recipe (One Pot) and add in all the vegetables.
• Use other vegetables- You don't have to only put in what the recipe calls for. Omit what you don't like, put more of what you do, and add in something new. I suggest various types of squash, broccoli, spinach, or cabbage. It's best when they are in season.
• Play around with different herbs and seasonings- To change the flavor. A mediterranean or Chinese twist is great!
