Ingredients
Instructions
Heat oil in a large dutch oven over medium-low heat. Once hot, add onion and 1 tsp kosher salt and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add garlic, carrots, celery, and potatoes and cook for 5 more minutes, stirring often. Add Italian seasoning and cook for 1 more minute.
Add broth, water, tomatoes, corn, beans, bay leaf, and several grinds of black pepper. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, until the vegetables are tender, about 35 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in parsley and lemon juice. Remove bay leaf and season to taste with salt (don't be shy, you need lots of salt to make soup pop!) and pepper. Serve hot with crusty bread. Leftover soup stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 5 days.
