Let’s Get Cooking!

How to Make Gordon Ramsay’s Vegetable Soup

Sauté Your Aromatics (about 4 minutes) Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the veggies begin to soften and the onion turns translucent. You’ll know it’s ready when you get a lovely fragrance filling your kitchen.
Add the Garlic (30 seconds) Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, just about 30 seconds; you want it to be aromatic, not burnt!
Time for the Broth (about 1 minute) Add the broth, diced tomatoes (with juice), chopped potatoes, bay leaves, thyme, and a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Bring this all to a roaring boil.
Simmer Time (10 minutes) Once boiling, reduce the heat and give it a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and let it peacefully simmer for about 10 minutes until the potatoes are halfway done.
In with the Green Goodness (15-20 minutes) Now’s the time to add the green beans. Continue to let it simmer for another 15 to 20 minutes until the potatoes are just tender, you want them nice but not mushy!
Finish It Up (5 minutes) Finally, stir in the corn and peas and let them simmer for another 5 minutes. Give it a taste to adjust your seasoning if needed; remember, a couple pinches more of salt and pepper can elevate it!
Serve & Garnish : Spoon this beautiful soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if you like. Enjoy hot, preferably with a warm piece of crusty bread on the side!

A side salad for a bit of crunch.

Storage and Reheating

Leftover Storage: This soup keeps well in the refrigerator in an airtight container for about 3-4 days.
Reheating Instructions: Just pop it in the microwave for a couple of minutes or heat on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
