Vegetable Soup (RECIPE)

Ingredients

• 1 medium yellow onion, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
• 2 large carrots, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (use Kasandrinos)
• 1 medium sweet potato (about 8 ounces), peeled and diced (about 2 cups)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 (32-ounce) carton low-sodium vegetable broth (4 cups)
• 1 (about 15-ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
• 1 (about 15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
• 1 small bunch kale (about 8 ounces), stems discarded and leaves coarsely chopped (about 5 cups)
• 8 ounces green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped tender fresh herbs (parsley leaves, mint leaves, dill, basil leaves, chives, or a combination)
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 1/2 medium lemon)

Instructions

• 1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 diced medium yellow onion, 2 peeled and diced large carrots, 1 peeled and diced medium sweet potato, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown, 7 to 10 minutes.

• 2. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon tomato paste, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes if using. Cook, stirring frequently, until the paste is darkened in color, about 1 minute. Stir in 1 (32-ounce) carton low-sodium vegetable broth, 1 (about 15-ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes and their juices, 1 (about 15-ounce) can drained and rinsed chickpeas, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
  
  
  
• 3. Stir in 1 small bunch chopped kale leaves and 8 ounces cut green beans. Simmer until the green beans are tender, about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat. Stir in 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh herbs and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Taste and season with more kosher salt as needed.
