Versatile recipe, full of veggie goodness. Soup is a great way to use leftover veggies.  Any vegetables you have on hand will work in this recipe so feel free to get creative! Use the half-empty bags of frozen vegetables, the last handful of baby carrots, or the leftover tomatoes you chopped for taco night. It's a party of flavors, and all veggies are welcome.

1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 sliced carrots
2 sliced celery stalks
1/2 medium onion, chopped
16 oz can whole tomatoes with juice
1 sliced zucchini
1 sliced yellow squash
2 cups edamame
1 cup broccoli
1 cup corn
6 cups low-sodium vegetable stock
Water as needed
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup tomato paste
Salt and pepper to taste

Saute the onions, carrots, celery and garlic with olive oil in a large stockpot on medium heat.

Add salt and pepper and cook until vegetables are soft and translucent, approximately 5 minutes.

Mix 1/2 cup of stock, zucchini and squash. Simmer for 5 minutes until vegetables are soft.

Add remaining vegetables (corn, broccoli, edamame, tomatoes) and stock.  Bring to a simmer.

Stir in tomato paste until fully blended.

Cover and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for approximately 15 minutes.

Add salt, pepper and thyme to taste.
