How To Make Vegetable Soup
- Prepare the ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients, making sure everything is ready to go.
- Combine the ingredients in a stockpot: Add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, tomato-vegetable juice, carrots, celery, potato, green beans, corn, and water to a large stockpot. Season with salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning.
- Cook the soup: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- Serve hot: Once the vegetables are soft and the soup is ready, serve it hot and enjoy a delicious, comforting bowl of vegetable soup!
Recipe Tips
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables like green beans, carrots, and corn add a lot of flavor to the soup. Try to use fresh ingredients for the best taste.
- Adjust seasoning to taste: The Creole seasoning adds a nice kick, but you can adjust it based on your taste. Start with a pinch, and add more if you like it spicier.
- Simmer gently: Let the soup simmer slowly instead of boiling it fast. This allows the flavors to develop and the vegetables to cook perfectly.
- Don’t skip the potato: The potato helps thicken the soup and adds a creamy texture. It’s important for the consistency of the soup.
- Add salt at the end: Wait until the soup is almost done before adding salt. This way, you can control the flavor and avoid over-salting.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers
- Refrigerate: Store leftover vegetable soup in an airtight container and place it in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.
- Freeze: Transfer leftover vegetable soup to a freezer-safe container or bag and freeze for up to 3 months. To thaw, place it in the fridge overnight or reheat directly from frozen, adding a little water if necessary.
- Reheating: Reheat vleftover vegetable soup on the stove over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until hot. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. You can also microwave it for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through.
