Winter Vegan Vegetable Soup

This warming, nutrient-rich soup is perfect for cold winter days. It combines seasonal vegetables with hearty spices to create a comforting, healthy dish that’s easy to prepare.

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 3 carrots, sliced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 1 parsnip, diced
• 2 potatoes, diced
• 1 sweet potato, diced
• 1 small butternut squash, peeled and diced (or another type of squash)
• 1 can of tomatoes (400 g)
• 1.5 liters vegetable broth
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tsp rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant (about 5 minutes).
2. Add the carrots, celery, parsnip, potatoes, sweet potato, and butternut squash. Sauté everything for about 5 minutes to allow the vegetables to caramelize slightly.
3. Pour in the canned tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir in the bay leaf, thyme, and rosemary.
4. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 25–30 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender.
5. Remove the bay leaf and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Garnish with fresh, chopped parsley and serve hot.

This vegan vegetable soup is not only easy to make but also wonderfully warming and full of winter flavors. Perfect as a main dish with a piece of crusty bread
