Hearty Vegetable and Macaroni Soup Recipe

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large white onion, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 6 cups tomato juice
  • 2 cups canned diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 white potatoes, cubed

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-low heat; cook and stir onion in the oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir chicken broth, tomato juice, diced tomatoes, and water into the pot; bring to a boil.
  2. Stir potatoes, cauliflower, celery, herbes de Provence, sugar, salt, black pepper, and bay leaves into the pot; reduce heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
