This hearty vegetable noodle soup is loaded with veggies, packed with flavor, and requires just one pot to make! It’s perfect for cold winter days and can be made in a large batch to enjoy throughout the week.
With soup season in full effect, we are soup-er excited (pun intended) to bring you this hearty vegetable
Not only does the recipe require only one-pot and about 30 minutes to make, but it also requires very simple ingredients. Here are a few key components:
- Mirepoix aka Onions, Carrots and Celery are the simple yet essential aromatic flavor base to start this dish off right.
- Red pepper flakes: adds a very minimal yet perfectly balanced amount of heat. Feel free to add more as you prefer!
- Potatoes: helps make this soup much heartier and filling.
- Brown lentils: feel free to use any beans of choice if you do not have lentils or prefer not to use them.
- Fresh thyme: add a burst of freshness and brighten up all of the flavors in this dish!
- Bay leaves: the heat of the broth breaks down some of the more potent leaf flavors, and turns them into a gentler, pleasantly aromatic element.
- Rotini pasta: or any other similarly sized pasta
- Vegetable broth: learn how to make your own at home here!
- Kale: we like to sneak greens in whenever we can–spinach works well here, too!
We love making soups in the winter time. There is something so comforting about enjoying a big ol’ bowl of hot soup, I am sure we can’t be alone here.
