Base Ingredients

Protein (for chili option)

Seasonings

Garnishes (optional)

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  2. 2

    Add Remaining Vegetables

    Add diced carrots, celery, bell pepper, and zucchini to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth. Add chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, bay leaves, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.

  2. 4

    Simmer the Soup

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 5

    Add Protein (for chili option)

    If making chili, brown the ground beef or turkey in a separate pan. Drain any excess fat, then add to the soup along with the drained kidney beans and canned diced tomatoes. Stir well.

  4. 6

    Final Simmer

    Let the soup or chili simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Remove bay leaves before serving.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Ladle the soup or chili into bowls. Top with fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and shredded cheese if desired. Serve hot.
