Whatever Vegetable Soup – See Why it’s the Best

Aptly named, my Whatever Vegetable Soup is a meal that will change each time you make it. Adaptable to use any selection of vegetables you have in your fridge, you can’t really go wrong no matter the combination you use.

Perfect for cold nights, this simple meal will warm you up from the inside! Containing mostly vegetables, it is a nourishing and satisfying Thermomix vegetable soup.

It gets even better

There is a pimped up (but just as simple) version of this hearty vegetable soup in my third cookbook – Feel Good Food Made Easy – called Chunky Minestrone. This book is a collection of winter warmers and as well as a great selection of soup recipes, it also contains recipes for breakfast, right through to dinner and dessert.

FAQs on Whatever Vegetable Soup

Are there any vegetables I shouldn’t use in this?

In my experience, no. I’ve made this soup a zillion times using so many different types of vegetables. Never have I had it turn out anything less than delicious!

I can’t eat pasta, what can I use instead?

You can simply leave it out and increase some of the veg slightly. Alternatively, rice is lovely in it – if using, increase cooking time at Step 4 to 15 minutes.

I don’t have any Odds-and-Ends Stock Paste, what can I use instead?

You can use a different TMX stock paste,  or use some powdered stock. Finally, you can replace the water in the recipe with liquid stock.

Can I double the recipe?

Definitely not. This recipe makes an entire TMX bowl of soup and can not be doubled.

Does Whatever Vegetable Soup freeze?

Yes, this soup freezes and defrosts well.

How’s it done?

Apart from the veggies, there are just a few staple ingredients you need to make this Thermomix vegetable soup: tinned tomatoes, oil, stock and dried herbs.

1. Throw in the vegetables and chop them up.

2. Saute with some oil for 10 minutes to get them sweating.

3. Add the liquid and flavourings and cook for 10 minutes.

4. Add the pasta and cook until al dente.

I hope you really love this hearty vegetable soup! It is a great option for a last minute dinner when you’re scraping the bottom of the veggie drawer.

This is my absolute favourite soup now. It’s so hearty. I add garlic/ginger/shallot mix, and some tuscan seasoning. Delicious!!

Absolutely love this recipe. I make gluten free and don’t add rice. We use whatever veg are in the fridge and I chop them all instead of blitzing. I use about 1200g veg and it’s perfect. Love having the leftovers for breakfast

Absolutely perfect! Have been unwell and needed something clean to eat, found this versatile recipe and literally pulled out old veg from the fridge and put it together. Flavours are delicious and I’ll be freezing left overs to enjoy later. Thanks for a great recipe!
