Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Melt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent (approximately 5-10 minutes).

02

Step
1 mins

Pour in chicken stock, beef broth, and water; bring to a gentle simmer.

03

Step
10 mins

Stir in tomato paste, diced tomatoes with jalapenos, and diced potatoes. Allow the mixture to simmer until the potatoes are slightly tender (about 10-15 minutes).

04

Step
45 mins

Incorporate the chopped celery, zucchini, carrots, and drained garbanzo beans. Continue to simmer until the potatoes are fully tender and the flavors have melded together harmoniously (approximately 45 minutes).

For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken or vegetable stock.
A swirl of pesto or a dollop of ricotta cheese can add a delightful finishing touch when serving.
Feel free to add other vegetables like green beans, spinach, or kale depending on your preference and what's in season.
For a meaty option, brown some Italian sausage (remove the casings) and add it to the soup during the last 15 minutes of simmering.
