Tomato Green Bean Soup

Easy and delicious, this one-pot Tomato Green Bean Soup comes together without much fuss and uses simple ingredients. Fresh green beans, ripe tomatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, and fresh basil combine to create a fragrant bowl of soup that is both brothy and satisfying. Serve with crusty bread for a cozy summer dinner.

Start out by sautéing the onions and carrots in some butter, then add the garlic and green beans. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and the beans are bright green. Next, add the chicken broth. If you want to keep the recipe vegetarian, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth. Let simmer until the beans are tender, about 20 minutes. Finally, stir in the tomatoes. I flavored the soup with fresh basil, but feel free to use any fresh herbs you prefer. This soup is perfectly light and summery but still satisfying.

To make the Tomato Green Bean Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
