Vegetable soup is a comforting and nutritious option for a quick and easy meal. Start by sautéing diced onions, carrots, and celery in a pot with olive oil until softened. Add vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, and your choice of vegetables like potatoes, green beans, and corn. Season with herbs and spices like thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Simmer the soup until the vegetables are tender. Serve hot with a side of crusty bread for a satisfying and wholesome meal.
