Ingredients
  

For the Vegetable Soup:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, minced

2 medium carrots, diced

2 ribs celery, diced

1 medium potato, peeled and cubed

1 zucchini, diced

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), diced

1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices

4 cups vegetable broth

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried basil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

For the Cheesy Toasties:

4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole grain, or white)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)

1 tablespoon butter, softened

1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning

Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

    Add Root Vegetables: Stir in the diced carrots, celery, and potato. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

      Incorporate Remaining Veggies: Add zucchini, bell pepper, and green beans to the pot. Stir well.

        Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices and vegetable broth. Add the dried thyme, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

          Simmer the Soup: Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Adjust seasoning if needed, and add lemon juice for a fresh kick if desired.

            Prepare the Cheesy Toasties: While the soup simmers, preheat your broiler. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Sprinkle the non-buttered side with shredded cheese and dried oregano.

              Broil the Toasties: Place the slices on a baking sheet, cheese side up. Broil for about 2-3 minutes, watching closely until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                Serve: Ladle the vegetable soup into bowls and serve hot with cheesy toasties on the side for a delightful dipping experience!
