Ingredients
  

Soup Base
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
Vegetables and Broth
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 can (15 ounces / 425 g) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
Seasonings
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
Noodles and Garnish
  • 2 cups cooked egg noodles or pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream, optional
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Warm the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery, then cook for 5–10 minutes until the vegetables soften.
  2. Add the potato, corn, diced tomatoes with their juices, broth, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  3. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the vegetables are fully softened.
  4. Mix in the cooked egg noodles or pasta and optional heavy cream. Heat gently for 5 minutes without allowing the soup to boil.
  5. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, then finish with fresh parsley before serving warm.

Notes

For better leftovers, keep the cooked noodles stored separately and add them when reheating so they do not become overly soft.
