Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • 1 small red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale, chopped
  • 1 cup cooked pasta (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until it becomes translucent.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
  4. Add the diced carrot, celery, and red bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables have softened.
  5. Pour in the diced tomatoes along with their juices, and then add the vegetable or chicken broth. Stir to combine.

  9. Stir in the chopped spinach or kale and cooked pasta, if using. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the greens are wilted.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or basil.

Notes

This soup is perfect on its own but pairs well with crusty bread or a side salad. Customize with your favorite beans or vegetables!
