If there are two things the Jones family loves in the winter, it’s vegetables and soup. We like veggies because, well, they’re healthy. And soup, there’s just something about soup on a cold winter day. It’s even better if you can combine the two: vegetable soup.
With all of the New Year resolutions for healthy eating and the after effects of a winter storm (3+ inches of snow in VA), today is the perfect day for a warm bowl of soup. This vegetable soup is easy and packed with such healthy goodness that you can go back for seconds (or thirds).
Ingredients
2-3 Cloves of Garlic
1 bag – Fresh Spinach
1 – Zucchini
1- Squash
1- Onion
4-5 Carrots
Handful of Green Beans, halved

6-8oz Vegetable Broth
Splash of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Italian Seasoning
Optional: Cannellini Beans
Directions
Saute onion and garlic in a splash of Extra Virgin Olive Oil until translucent. Add broth and all ingredients but fresh spinach. Cook until potatoes are soft, about 30-45 minutes on medium heat. Add spinach and beans, cook until spinach is cooked through. Serve warm with a toasty french baguette.
This looks great, I’m trying everything I can to get my husband (and me) to eat more vegetables so we can set a good example as our new baby gets older!
That soup looks amazing! My fiancé and I are BIG fans of a good veggie soup.
Happy New Year!
