A quick and comforting pantry-style soup made with simple canned ingredients, basic seasonings, and optional protein for an easy, budget-friendly meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 ounces) mixed vegetables, drained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 ounces) beans (kidney, black, or white), drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14 ounces) chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 can (10–12 ounces) cooked chicken or tuna, drained (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat.
  2. Add diced tomatoes with their juices and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  3. Stir in drained vegetables, beans, and broth.
  4. Add canned chicken or tuna if using, breaking it apart gently.
  5. Season with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  6. Simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors are combined.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve warm.

Notes

  • Use vegetable broth and omit canned meat to keep it vegetarian.
  • Add canned corn or green beans for extra texture.
  • Stir in cooked pasta or rice for a heartier soup.
  • Mash some beans or simmer longer for a thicker consistency.
  • Freeze in airtight containers for up to 2 months.
