Ingredients
  

3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

1 can (15 oz) of cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup of green beans, trimmed and chopped

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)

1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)

2 teaspoons dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 bay leaf

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: A splash of lemon juice for brightness

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and garlic. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until they are softened and fragrant.

    Add Spices: Sprinkle in the dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir for about 1 minute to release the spices' flavors.

      Incorporate Vegetables: Add the diced potatoes and chopped green beans to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

        Pour Broth and Add Flavor: Pour the vegetable or chicken broth into the pot. Add the diced tomatoes and the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

          Add Beans: Once the potatoes are cooked, stir in the cannellini beans. Allow the soup to simmer for another 5-10 minutes, ensuring the beans are heated through.

            Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or a splash of lemon juice if desired. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

              Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy this hearty, comforting dish warmed by your kitchen.
