How To Make Vegetable Soup
I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card. Vegetable soup recipes are a blank canvas, so you can add almost anything. Here are the basic components that you can customize based on your preferences and what you have on hand: Sometimes the taste can vary depending on your veggies, brand of broth or diced tomatoes, and your preferences. Here are some ways I adjust this healthy vegetable soup when needed:
Too sweet? Mix in a splash of vinegar, salt, or tabasco. Too bland? Add more salt, or an extra dash of herbs and spices. Your preferences might be a little different from mine, but it’s so easy to customize this if you feel like something is missing! Too spicy? A little heavy cream (or coconut cream) tames spicy foods, or dilute with extra broth or some vinegar. Too salty? Extra tomatoes or some lemon juice can help. Too acidic? Dilute with cream or coconut cream, or add more salt.
PH balance is sometimes all a soup needs. Lemon juice or vinegar add more acidity, while heavy cream or coconut cream will make it more alkaline (if tastes sour or spicy). Want to add a protein? I’ve got recipes for beef vegetable soup or chicken vegetable soup. You can also just use the recipe I have here and simply add your protein before simmering the soup, along with an extra 1-3 cups of broth. Please enter your first name for your account.
