Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 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)

Soup Base

  • 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked egg noodles or any pasta of your choice
  • 1 cup heavy cream (optional for a creamy version)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

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, releasing its natural sweetness and softening the texture.
  2. Add Vegetables: Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and the garlic to become fragrant.
  3. Simmer Soup Base: Add the cubed potato, corn, diced tomatoes along with their juice, broth, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender, allowing flavors to meld.
  4. Incorporate Noodles and Cream: If using, stir in the cooked egg noodles and heavy cream into the soup. Heat through for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring the noodles are warmed and the soup is creamy and rich.
  5. Season and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve the soup hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

Notes

  • You may use either vegetable or chicken broth depending on your dietary preference.
  • For a vegan version, omit the heavy cream or substitute it with a plant-based cream alternative.
  • Frozen or canned corn works well if fresh corn is not available.
  • Leftover soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
  • Adding egg noodles is optional and adds a nice texture; substitute with any preferred pasta or omit for a lighter soup.
