Vegetable Soup – homemade vegetable soup that is so comforting and flavorful with earthy spices and aroma and a creamy goodness from coconut milk. Perfect for cozy cold nights!
This post is sponsored by Mann’s Fresh Vegetables. The opinions and texts are all mine. Thanks to Mann’s for partnering with Immaculate Bites on this hearty and easy Vegetable Soup.
Winter season is definitely my kind of season – sweatshirts, hot choco and snuggling down in bed – I’m all down for this. But the highlight of this season for me are the SOUPS. How can I resist those big warm bowl of healthy soups?
I’ve never been as excited as this on a winter season. Perhaps, partly because I now work from home and I can just whip up a good hearty soup anytime I want.
Well, it may need a lot of chopping but I don’t mind at all. Good thing too is that I don’t need to peel and chop butternut squash (and maybe get a little cut due to slip ups).
Mann’s pre-cubed Butternut Squash makes it easier for me. ‘Cause let’s all admit it, the peeling stage is the most tedious one especially when you’re handling butternut squashes. And what’s a good vegetable soup without our favorite – butternut squash?
With Mann’s pre-cut veggies, I can just add the butternut squash right into the pot. It saved me few minutes which can be delegated to preparing sides or cleaning the counter. I’m all for anything convenient! 😉
They also have other pre-cut veggies that are perfect for those busy nights and are ready to cook!
As you can see, the ingredient list is a bit long, but don’t let it scare you off. Just imagine all the nutrients you get with just a bowl of this. Aaaand, the beauty of this classic vegetable soup is that you can adjust the vegetables you put in and its quantities. You can make it according to your preference.
While most vegetable soup would usually taste bland, I guarantee, that this one is one of the most flavorful vegetable soup you’ll ever have and you’ll even add it on weekly rotation. I, myself, can’t stop just for one bowl. Go for seconds and thirds, friends!
You’ll have the heartiest and healthiest bowl of winter soup with this recipe.
What are you waiting for? Don’t wait ’til weekend to whip this up. Serve it with warm crusty bread or cornbread for a completely satisfying meal.
How to Make Vegetable Soup
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, celery and thyme saute for about 3-4 minutes until onions are wilted.
Then add tomatoes, zucchini, green beans, kidney beans, carrots, corn and squash (I used Mann’s pre-cut Butternut Squash).
Also add curry powder, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Mix thoroughly to incorporate well the seasonings. Pour in chicken stock or broth (if you want thicker soup pour less and increase amount of coconut milk).
Bring to a boil, cover and simmer until squash are tender, about 20 – 30 minutes, then add coconut milk and cook 5 minutes longer. Serve warm with bread or cornbread.

Loved this soup, the taste, the spices and the slightly creamy broth! I’m not a fan of butternut squash, but definitely it makes the soup! Also I had some leftover shredded Parmesan cheese that I sprinkled over the top and it complimented the taste quite well. Love your recipes!

I was looking for a tastier vegetable soup for my family. The whole house is sick but they aren’t fans of soup and I know that even the kids will enjoy this. Thank you!
ImmaculateBites says
They sure will. Do let me know how it works out for you. Thanks

Hello, Thank you for the amazing recipe. I tried it out today and it turned out well. However, the color of my soup wasn’t orange /red like in the pictures. I am wondering if that color comes from the butternut squash which I skipped in my recipe.
Thanks for your feedback !
ImmaculateBites says
Yes, it does. Glad it worked out well for you.

No kidney beans, no coconut milk, no curry powder, and beef broth not chicken. I’ll stick with my tried and true all American homemade vegetable soup. But if I want an Indian style veggie soup this just may hit the spot minus kidney beans.

Sounds great. You might like my beef vegetable soup then:)
