Ingredients
Method
- In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 12 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme, oregano, red pepper, salt and black pepper; cook garlic for about 1 minute.
- Add the potatoes and tomato paste and cook, stirring often, until the tomato paste begins to brown on the bottom of the pot for about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add in the vegetable stock and diced tomatoes with their juices and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 28 minutes.
- Stir in the green beans, corn and peas, return to a simmer and cook until the green beans are tender, for additional 4 to 5 minutes more.
- Turn off the heat, add the spinach, parsley and vinegar, stirring until the spinach is slightly cooked. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired.
- Serve hot, topped with more parsley.
