Tomato Egg Vegetable Soup in 45 Minutes
This is my favorite quick and easy 45-minute soup, perfect for lunch or dinner on a cozy evening when all we crave is some guiltless comfort food. With just a handful of ingredients, you can create a soup that’s as satisfying as it is easy to make.
The extra virgin olive oil base carries the aromas of onions and garlic as they sizzle in the pot. Adding a medley of frozen mixed vegetables and broccoli florets will bring color and nutrients to our soup.
Combining tomato paste and crushed roasted tomatoes adds depth and richness to the broth, creating a flavorful canvas for this dish. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and a hint of cayenne for a gentle kick.
A tablespoon of raw sugar does wonders to balance the tomatoes’ acidity and enhance the natural sweetness without overwhelming the savory profile. And let’s not forget the cheese. Romano or Parmesan cheese will add a creamy, umami note that ties everything together beautifully.
Once all of the vegetables are cooked, fresh eggs are added to the simmering soup. As they gently poach in the flavorful broth, delicate ribbons of egg create protein and richness in each spoonful.
This Tomato Egg Veggie Soup is not just a time-saver but a flavor-packed winner that will have everyone asking for seconds. Enjoy the warm goodness and happy cooking!
