This hearty vegetable soup is filling, warming, and comforting. It’s a perfect soup for those times when you want to cozy up on the couch with a bowl of soup. It’s also a perfect midday meal that will keep you full for hours.

This recipe is also very easy to make. All you have to do is chop the veggies and cook them in olive oil for a few minutes. Once the vegetables start to soften, add the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, some water, beans, and seasonings. Bring it to the boil, cover, and cook to allow the flavors to blend.

This soup tastes great on its own. I also love it served with some cilantro and avocado slices.

This hearty vegetable soup is cooked with bulgur. If you want to make it completely gluten-free, just use quinoa instead of bulgur.

If you do food prep on the weekend, just make a pot of this soup and you will have a healthy lunch or dinner to enjoy for a few days. This soup is also great for freezing.

Enjoy!
