Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium carrots, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

1 small butternut squash, peeled and cubed

2 medium potatoes, diced

1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, with juice

4 cups vegetable broth

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups kale or spinach, roughly chopped

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

    Add the Vegetables: Stir in the carrots, celery, butternut squash, and potatoes. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables begin to soften.

      Incorporate the Broth: Add the green beans, corn, diced tomatoes (with their juice), vegetable broth, thyme, rosemary, and smoked paprika. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil.

        Simmer the Soup: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the soup simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.

          Finish with Greens: Stir in the chopped kale or spinach and apple cider vinegar. Allow it to cook for another 5 minutes until the greens are wilted.

            Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as desired, adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar for a tangy finish.

              Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and optionally garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy warm with crusty bread!
