Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 3 ribs of celery, sliced
- 2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 cups green beans, ends trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes

- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups fresh kale, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until sizzling hot, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add onion, garlic, carrots and celery. Sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes and Italian seasoning. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Notes
How to store: Transfer leftover vegetable soup to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
How to freeze: Once cooled to room temperature, transfer the leftover veggie soup to a freezer-safe container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. If you have a large batch, I recommend portioning them out before freezing for easy reheating. Allow the soup to thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
How to reheat: Reheat vegetable soup in a saucepan on the stove over medium-low heat until warmed through. Add a splash of water if the soup has thickened too much when stored. You can also reheat in the microwave in a microwave-safe container, covered with a microwave-safe lid leaving a slight gap (vent). Heat in 30-60 second increments until warmed through.
