Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 large onion
- Kosher salt and pepper
- 1/2 bunch basil (about 2 cups)
- 2 clove garlic
- 8 oz. red potatoes
- 4 c. low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 small zucchini
- 1 small yellow squash
- 1 small carrot
- 1/2 c. frozen peas
- 1 c. fresh corn kernels
- 1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
- country bread
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and beginning to brown, 4 to 5 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, separate the basil leaves from the stems. Finely chop enough stems to yield 1 tablespoon. Add the chopped stems to the onion along with the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the potatoes and broth and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add the zucchini, squash, and carrot and simmer for 3 minutes. Add the peas and corn and simmer until the vegetables are just tender, 2 to 3 minutes more. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and basil before serving. Serve with the bread, if desired.
