Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups (1.4 liters) bone broth (homemade or trusted brand like Kettle & Fire)
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, packed
  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped or 1 cup canned diced tomatoes
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped or 1 tsp dried thyme
  • ΒΌ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: peel and dice carrots, celery, and onion into roughly equal-sized pieces. Mince garlic, dice zucchini and tomatoes (if using fresh). Wash and loosely chop spinach and parsley.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Stir occasionally until onions are translucent and vegetables start to soften.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, avoiding burning.
  4. Pour in 6 cups bone broth and add diced tomatoes. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
  5. Add chopped fresh thyme (or dried) and season lightly with salt and pepper. Simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes until carrots are tender but still hold shape.
  6. Stir in zucchini and fresh spinach. Cook for another 5 minutes until zucchini is tender and spinach has wilted.
  7. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Finish with 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice to brighten flavors.
  8. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm.

Notes

If broth is very salty, add a splash of water or unsalted broth during simmering. Avoid overcooking vegetables to keep a slightly crunchy texture. For thicker soup, mash a few carrots against the pot side. Adding a pinch of red pepper flakes during simmering adds warmth. For vegetarian version, substitute bone broth with rich vegetable broth but note collagen benefits will be reduced. Soup stores well in fridge up to 4 days and freezes up to 3 months.
