This is the best vegetable soup! Make this with the cream biscuits on an earlier post by Mal!!



2 Tablespoons Olive oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
3-14.5oz cans chicken broth
1/2 pound potatoes, chopped
1 Tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1-14.5 oz can died tomatoes
1/4 pound green beans, cut into 1 inch pieces (I didn't put this in)
1 cup chopped broccoli
Grated Parmesan cheese

Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery and cook until softened but, not browned, about 5 minutes. Add broth, 1 cup water, the potatoes, thyme, and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover partially, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add tomatoes, beans, and broccoli, return to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with Parmesan on top!
