Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained

Liquids and Broth

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (optional for a creamy version)

Seasonings and Garnish

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Pasta

  • 2 cups cooked egg noodles or any pasta of your choice

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
  2. Cook Vegetables: Stir in the minced garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  3. Add Broth and Simmer: Add the cubed potato, corn, diced tomatoes with their juice, broth, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Combine Pasta and Cream: If using, stir in the cooked egg noodles and heavy cream. Heat through for an additional 5 minutes to blend the flavors and warm the pasta.
  5. Season and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley for a fresh, bright touch.

Notes

  • For a heartier version, add cooked shredded chicken or turkey.
  • Substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
