There is nothing more comforting during winter than an easy vegetable soup, but I also love soup during the summer.

I love making a vegetable soup that is nourishing for the soul and body, and this one does the trick! It’s easy to batch cook and freeze for healthy lunches or dinners.

The best thing with this vegetable soup is you can use any vegetables, especially if there are ones in the fridge that need to be used up. It’s a great help to prevent food waste.
