There is something about a warm vegetable soup in the winter that just hits the spot. This vegetable bean soup recipe is one of my go-to recipes during the winter to keep me warm. It is packed with healthy fresh organic vegetables, like zucchini, tomatoes, carrots and celery. I add great northern beans for extra fiber, and pasta for carbs. I make a huge batch that lasts a few days – just keep the leftover soup in the fridge. Add this vegetable soup as a side to your favorite sandwich for a fresh, healthy lunch! I usually make a large batch right after a trip to the farmers’ market and pick up some fresh vegetables – yum! You can top it with Parmesan cheese, or to make it healthier you can omit it.
This weekend I am in LA visiting my family for my brother’s birthday. It is always so nice to be around family – lots of good food and laughs! What are your plans for the weekend?

Dearest Kristianne,
Super winter soup and is loaded with healthy veggies. Ah, the vegetable broth from Trader Joe’s will work great with this recipe.
Happy weekend to you!

Yummy soup!
I love soup at this time of the year! Well, anytime, really, but in the cooler months it’s so appealing. And your soup certainly appeals to me! Tons of flavor, and I can’t resist any soup that has beans — or pasta! Good stuff — thanks.
Thanks John, me too! 🙂
Yum! with the cold weather we have been having in Kentucky soups have been sounding amazing. This looks like a great healthy way to get in vegetables and protein!
