I started making my warm veggie soup probably 7-8 years ago. It’s basically my own take on minestrone sans the pasta. My sister and I love minestrone soup, but we always take out the pasta, so instead of ordering something and altering it, I decided to recreate it myself making a version that’s perfect for me. As a vegetarian, I always have to make sure I get my nutrients, and this vegetable stew recipe provides plenty with three different beans and hearty veggies. It’s full of savory and garlicky flavor and packs a nice little punch of heat.

Since I’ve been doing a Holiday Hosting series, I figured I might as well share this warm, cozy veggie soup recipe that will be good all winter long! My personal preference is a soupier consistency, but if you’re going for that vegetable stew style, then simply reduce the amount of water added. Easy! This soup will be enjoyed by vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. Serve with a slice of warm toast and sprinkle a touch of parmesan for the perfect cozy lunch or dinner. And as always, please let me know if you try this recipe!
