Why you’ll love this veggie soup recipe
Simple, healthy and tasty! This recipe comes together fairly quickly, just chop a few ingredients, pop open a can of white beans and toss in some broth! It’s a great go-to when we’re feeling under the weather and don’t want to be too involved in the kitchen. For our occasional Florida winters, we love to warm up with a soup, sometimes a creamy roasted veggie soup but other times a brothy soup like this one just hits the spot like a cozy cup of tea.
Chop the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, and bok choy. For the bok choy we chopped the bottom half and saved the green tops for later.
In a large pot over medium high heat, add a splash of oil. Saute the onion, carrot, and celery for a couple minutes.
Add the garlic, bok choy ends, thyme and sage. Saute for a few more minutes, until aromatic.
Add the water and broth base. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to a simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the can of beans and the rest of the bok choy and continue to cook on a low simmer covered for 10 minutes.
Remove thyme and sage using tongs. Serve and enjoy!
Recipe tips and variations
Broth: Our favorite broth to use for this is a vegan no-chicken broth, but feel free to use a vegetable broth of your choice.
Greens: We used bok choy, but you can substitute for any leafy green, such as spinach or kale.
Herbs: Fresh herbs add a flavorful touch to any broth. You’re welcome to use the fresh herbs you enjoy most. Some people tie the herbs together to make a garnished bouquet (known as a bouquet garni in French), making it easier to remove after.
Simple: Keep it quick and simple by using canned beans.
