Ingredient notes

  • Extra virgin olive oil: I’m Spanish, so I use extra virgin olive oil to cook most of my dishes. However, any type of oil is okay. I always use extra virgin oils when possible because they’re healthier. 
  • Potatoes: any type of potatoes will work.
  • Vegetable stock or water: I prefer vegetable stock because it enhances the flavor of this vegan vegetable soup recipe. However, water is okay too. I do suggest you easily make your own vegetable stock at home using our recipe, but you can also use it store-bought.
  • Italian seasoning or dried oregano: feel free to use other herbs to taste, such as fresh parsley, basil, thyme, or rosemary.

Dietary variations

  • Make it oil-free: you can cook the veggies with some vegetable stock or water instead of oil.
Step-by-step photos of how to make this recipe

How to make vegan vegetable soup

  • Heat the oil in a large pot and sauté the garlic, celery, and onion over medium-high heat until golden brown.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Serve your vegan vegetable soup immediately.

How to store

  • Fridge: store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days.
  • Freezer: store the leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 6 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
  • Reheat: it can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop over medium heat until warmed through. Add a little water or vegetable stock if needed.

Serving suggestions

You can serve your vegan vegetable soup as a cozy and nutritious dinner along with some Instant Pot chickpeas, baked tofu, or tempeh to add more protein to this meal. Another option is to directly incorporate some white beans into your soup.

Instructions 

  • Heat the oil in a large pot and sauté the garlic, celery, and onion over medium-high heat until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, and simmer partially covered for 30 minutes or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.

  • Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge. It can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop over medium heat until warmed through. Add a little water or vegetable stock if needed.

Notes

  • If you don’t consume oil, use some water or vegetable stock instead.
  • Customize this vegan vegetable soup recipe with any veggies, spices, or herbs you have on hand.
  • I recommend you use fresh garlic, although garlic powder would also work well, as well as onion powder.
  • You don't need to peel the potatoes or the carrots.
  • I usually use frozen corn kernels, but canned corn is also a good option.
  • You can either use fresh or frozen green beans, as well as canned or frozen peas.
  • You could omit Italian seasoning or add a different kind of herb, although it gives the soup a delicious flavor.
  • Feel free to use any type of salt.

    Iโ€™ve made this several times and love it! Tonight, however, the soup tastes a bit sour โ€” it must be the crushed tomatoes I used. I added sugar and even a bit of butter. Itโ€™s still too tangy. What do you suggest?

      Hi Katya! It seems your vegetable soup is tangy due to the crushed tomatoes. To reduce the acidity, you can add a bit more sugar gradually. You can also try a pinch of baking soda, but use it sparingly. Adding coconut milk can also smooth out the flavors. Adjusting with salt, pepper, or herbs can help balance it out. Hope it helps!

    Made this as a meal-train dinner for friends who are vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free. It was good and hearty with chickpeas and some GF, DF cornbread on the side.

    I made this again the next night for my own family but cooked down the veggies with butter and threw in some heavy whipping cream at the end for a thicker texture. Very good! We ate on it all day long with Bob Mills GF cornbread, which is also sooo delicious!
