Ingredients

• 0.5 Cups cubed potatoes
• 0.5 Cups onion, minced
• 0.5 Cups carrot, minced
• 1 15 Ounces (oz) can kidney beans, drained
• 6 Tablespoons (tbsp) soy sauce
• 1 Whole bay leaf
• 6 Cups water
• 1 Cups fresh green beans, sliced
• 0.75 Cups fresh corn kernels
• 0.25 Cups fresh basil, minced
• 0.33 Cups tomato puree
• 3 Cloves garlic, minced
• 0.33 Cups olive oil
• 0.33 Cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch pepper, to taste

Steps

1. In a large pot over high heat, combine the cubed potatoes, minced onion, minced carrot, drained kidney beans, soy sauce, bay leaf, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil.
2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Add more water if necessary to ensure the vegetables are fully submerged.
3. After 20 minutes, add the fresh sliced green beans and corn kernels to the pot. Continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
4. While the soup is simmering, prepare the basil sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine the minced basil, tomato puree, minced garlic, olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
5. Once the vegetables are tender and the soup is ready, stir in the basil and Parmesan tomato sauce. Mix well to ensure the sauce is evenly distributed throughout the soup.
6. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, and enjoy the rich, savory flavors of this enhanced vegetable soup.
