• 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
• 1/2 cup Frozen Peas, thawed
• 1/2 cup Frozen Corn, thawed
• 1 Carrot, diced
• 1/4 cup Tomato Paste
• 1 can Fire Roasted Tomatoes (can sub regular, but this adds a lot of flavor!)
• 2 cup Vegetable Broth
• 1 cup Water (or more Veggie Broth)
• 1/2 cup Dry Pasta, cooked according to package instructions

1. Add the Diced Onion, Italian Seasoning, and a splash of water to a large pot over medium heat. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the Onion is translucent.
2. Add all remaining ingredients, except for the Cooked Pasta, to the pot. Stir well to dissolve the Tomato Paste. Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 8-10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

• 4 Potatoes, peeled if desired*
• 1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast
• 1 Small Yellow Onion, diced
• 4 cup Vegetable Broth
• 2 cup Unsweetened Plant Milk
• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
• Salt, to taste
• 4 cup Frozen Broccoli, thawed.

1. Peel your Potatoes if desired, and chop into 1/2″ pieces. Finely dice your Onion, and chop the Broccoli into bite-sized pieces as well.
2. Add the Onion, Italian Seasoning, and Garlic Powder to a large pot with a splash of water, over medium heat. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the Onion is translucent.
3. Add in all remaining ingredients, except for the Broccoli, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, then cook for 6-8 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
4. Keep the heat on low, and transfer half of the soup mixture into a blender and process until smooth and creamy. Return to the pan, and stir until well-incorporated. (Alternatively, you can also use an immersion blender for this step!) Add any Salt to taste, if necessary (I used around 1/2 tsp).
5. Add the chopped Broccoli to the pot, and stir well. Once the Broccoli has warmed up with the soup, serve and enjoy.
