There’s no better way to stay warm than with a hot beverage or steaming bowl of soup. And what better way to enjoy soup than to enjoy homemade soup? Mmmm…
This soup — my homemade vegetable soup — is the easiest soup recipe you’ll ever make. It’s gluten-free, vegan, and is incredibly flavorful. It really hits the spot on a cold day. Warm up with a bowl of homemade vegetable soup and some crackers for lunch, or serve with a baguette and salad for dinner. Either way, your tummy will be happy and your body will be warm. Enjoy!
Easy Homemade Vegetable Soup
Ingredients
- 4 C vegetable broth
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, small diced
- 3 cloves garlic, rough chopped
- 1/2 C shredded carrots
- 2 stalks celery, thin sliced
- 1 Tbsp fresh dill
- 1 tsp salt
- fresh ground pepper, to taste
Directions
Pour vegetable broth in a large saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Add carrots and celery and bring to a low boil. Simmer.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until translucent, about five minutes. Add garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes.
Stir onions, garlic, dill, salt and pepper in to soup. Bring back to a boil and simmer 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are fork tender (or tender to taste). Serve and enjoy!

I’m serious when I say this is one of the easiest — and most flavorful — vegetable soups. I’m not just tooting my own horn. I mean, maybe a little bit, but trust me — it’s great. I’m secretly waiting for a good time to make it again so I can eat more soup!
Don’t forget (I mentioned this on Friday) — I’m in the midst of categorizing my recipes so if you can’t find something you’re looking for, that’s why. I’m almost done organizing! Phew. 🙂
Happy Meatless Monday!

I am all about soups lately too the simpler the better. Thanks for linking up and have a great day
I agree, simple soup is the way to go!
Girl. It’s cold this morning here… For here :-)… In Texas. You had me at the word EASY.
It was in the 50s here today. But I still cranked the heat in my car to 75. Haha! I hate being cold!
I like really thick soup, almost stew or chili. I used to hate it, but I love split pea soup! I’m also not opposed to a good sweet potato coconut curry soup. Love that on a cold day!
I don’t think I’ve ever actually had split pea soup. I wonder if I should try it now that I’m a grown-up. Haha. I love sweet potato chili. I bet that soup would be good! Thanks for these ideas. 🙂
The soup look yummy!!!
Thank you!
That looks tasty, I love anything with dill!
ME TOO! I love dill. On fish, in potato salad, in regular salad. Yum!
Love soup- this looks delicious! We made chicken soup this weekend to help combat the colds we are all fighting.
Ugh we’re fighting colds too. So not awesome. Hope you guys are feeling better!
A good soup is worth its weight in gold! Hope you feel better! I love winter, I really do. But I’m going with summer. Haha!
I could not possibly survive winter without soup. I would say I tolerate winter. Therefore, summer. 🙂
You can’t go wrong with a good veggie soup, especially if it’s easy!
That’s what I’m sayin’! 😉
I love all kinds of soup! Unfortunately my family does not lol. I wish they did as much as I do! Thanks for sharing!
What?! How could they not like soup?? Travesty!!
Yum – this looks so easy and perfect for a winter Meatless Monday.
It is so easy and so delicious. I’d much rather have soup for dinner tonight than veggie burgers but hey, it is what it is. Soup tomorrow!
Very nice. I do love a good vegetable soup!
Fantastic!
Tomato soup FTW. All day, every day 🙂
Word. With grilled cheese? Mmmm…
My kids love veggie soup! Yum! I hope you feel better soon!
Thank you, I’m feeling better already.
I hope your kids like it!
Love how quick and simple this recipe is! Can’t wait to try it!
Thanks! I hope you enjoy it 🙂
I love soup, especially healthy soups this time of year when it’s cold out. Not sure I have a favorite as there are so many I love right now. Happy Meatless Monday!
I agree — I’m a soup junkie! There are so many good ones it’s hard to narrow it down.
I am currently freezing, so this soup looks absolutely perfect to me– I wish I had it now! 🙂
Thank you for hosting!
Oh no! Freezing is no good. I was freezing this morning but luckily warmed up thanks to all the fleece… 😉
I am addicted to the Whole Foods soup mix with veggies and spices all ready for the pot. You just broth and a protein and there you go!
Wait hold up. I was literally just there and perused their soup mixes. I didn’t see that one! I’m going to scope it out again more thoroughly next trip… 🙂
“in the Cleve” – lol – love it! I too hate the cold. Why exactly do I live in MN? Keep fighting that cold – stay warm. Soup looks yummy.
Haha. I don’t know why you live in MN and I don’t know why I live in the Cleve. Both cold. Both snowy. No good!!!
I love garlic so whenever I’m sick, I always add extra cloves!
It’s effing freezing today, so hot soup definitely sounds like a winner! This looks amazing!
This soup would hit the spot on any cold day!
Indeed! It’s really delish.
I love soup in the winter and this one looks delicious. I am really intrigued by the dill. Pinning!
I personally love the dill… 🙂
I bet you feel so much better just eating this soup! I always feel better when I have soup…it has to be medicinal!
I’m pretty sure soup is medicinal. I almost always feel better when I have soup.
Feel better!
Dill is a unique ingredient to add to a veggie soup. I bet it makes it very flavorful.
It’s delicious! I love dill. 🙂
Soups are the best on a cold day plus a grilled cheese!!!! This one looks great!
Yes to grilled cheese! It’s the best combo ever. 🙂
We’ve been making chili’s and soups a lot lately – such great winter foods! This soup sounds great!
I’m a big proponent of both soups and chilis. Oh and stews. 🙂
Yum! I made a big pot of chicken & rice soup this week, and vegetable soup last week. Can’t get enough soup this time of year, for sure!!
That sounds glorious. I love soup. Almost any kind! 🙂
My fav soup is white chicken chili…and all of this cold & damp weather has me craving it. Big time!
YUM that sounds awesome. I don’t think I’ve ever had white chicken chili but I need it in my life stat!
Mmm… I bet the dill is great in this!
I think it’s pretty tasty but I also love dill 🙂
[…] After the Women’s March, my friend and I hit up Noodlecat downtown. I had never been but it’s one of her faves. If you’re ever in the Cleve, head to Noodlecat. The service was terrible due to the influx of people all at the same time, but the noodle bowl was amazing. It was particularly awesome since I wasn’t feeling well. Soup always wins! […]
I like chili…or beef stew..no actually french onion soup is my favorite..now I’m craving some!
I haven’t had beef stew in YEARS. And it was one of my faves. I have an amazing beef stew recipe. I wonder if it would destroy my stomach if I made it… hmmmm… might be time to try!
I love simple soups and it’s certainly been soup weather around here!
With the insane cold weather we’ve had over the past few weeks, I’m all about a nice bowl of hot soup!
Making soup is part of my plan for healthier eating these days. I’ll be trying this recipe out for sure!
I do love vegetable soup! I will have to try this recipe over the winter.
I love any kind of soups! It’s been so cold down here lately!
Thanks to this virus I’m fighting I’ve been doing a lot of soup lately. I’ll have to give this one a go – thanks for sharing!
Sounds easy and delicious! I am definitely a winter soup lover!
Yum! I just made a Curry Cauliflower Soup yesterday, so good!
Last few days have been freezing – perfect for soup! Looks delicious 🙂
Ok, is it weird (or am I just too predictable?)…I was gonna say my favorite soup is white chicken chili except I actually said that a year ago when this was posted before LOL Well, I still have the same answer 😉 I had forgotten about your recipe, though. Dill is a unique seasoning (at least for me), I bet that gives this soup an interesting zing 😉
Wow it is the simplest type of soup! I’ve never used dill in my cooking and always open to trying new things. Will have to try this easy recipe this week.
Soups are so good at this time of year. Nice and warming! This looks amazing. My favourite kind of soup is chicken!
I love how simple this recipe is, and the addition of dill here – I never usually add that to soup but I bet it adds such nice depth of flavor. My fav soup is probably broccoli cheddar – it’s just soooo tasty.
Perfect timing for this recipe, because it’s so snowy and cold here and this looks like the perfect solution!
Give me this and a hunk of bread! Asap
Cold temps have me craving soup daily, easy and homemade this is what I need. Cold and we spent the day outside we really need soup but since the girls are off school I told them we could do homemade pizza. Happy Meatless Monday!
There’s nothing like a warm bowl of soup during the chilly winter months. My office is freezing. Really wish I had some right now! lol
I love soup and frequently create one one a cold day. I generally throw a lot of things in the pot, add some seasonings and vegetable broth and cross my fingers! ? And It usually tastes really good!
Yum! I love soups that have a lot of veggies! will be trying for sure!
Dill must be a nice addition! I never really thought to add it to vegetable soup!
This soup looks perfect for warming up this winter! It’s been chilly here in NC lately!
Oh I’m warming up just looking at this soup. It looks so simple yet comforting at the same time. It also looks like it would be a perfect soup to have when sick with a cold.
I just made a big pot of veggie soup. Lots of big chunky veggies. Just the way I like it.
Nothing beats a homemade soup in the winter! My favorite way to warm up!
Homemade soup is the best – especially in the winter!
Yumm!! I bet the addition of the fresh dill makes this soup smell soooo good!
