Base Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked egg noodles or any pasta of your choice
  • 1 cup heavy cream (optional for a creamy version)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Dice the onion, carrots, and celery. Mince the garlic. Peel and cube the potato. Have corn and diced tomatoes ready.

Sauté Aromatics

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Add Garlic and Spices

  • Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Combine Vegetables and Broth

  • Add the cubed potato, corn, diced tomatoes (undrained), and 4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth to the pot. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.

Simmer Soup

  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Cook Noodles

  • Stir in the 2 cups of cooked egg noodles (or other pasta) into the soup. Continue to simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the noodles are heated through and tender.

Add Cream (Optional)

  • If desiring a creamy soup, stir in 1 cup of heavy cream. Heat gently for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to warm through without boiling, to achieve a rich, 'snowy' consistency.

Serve and Garnish

  • Ladle the steaming hot soup into bowls. Garnish each serving with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately with crusty bread and enjoy this comforting winter meal.

Notes

For best texture, store noodles separately if you plan on storing leftovers. Reheat broth, then cook fresh pasta and add it just before serving.
