Let’s make a Progresso Copycat Classic Vegetable Soup!

Step 1: Simmer veggies

To begin, dice the yellow onion. Then, heat oil in a large pan or dutch oven over medium-low heat.

Next, add onion, salt, pepper, and dried parsley to the pot. Saute onions and seasonings until soft and fragrant about 5 minutes tossing frequently.

Then, add tomato paste to the pot and mix with the onions. Slowly pour the vegetable broth into the pot and stir to mix with the tomato paste.

Add the water, frozen veggies, and can of diced tomatoes to the pot. Then, bring the mixture to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cover the pot.

Simmer for 30 minutes covered, stirring frequently.

Step 2: Add potatoes and noodles to the vegetable soup

While the soup simmers, peel and cube the russet potatoes After the soup has simmered for 30 minutes add the potatoes and rotini pasta to the pot.

Then, continue simmering the soup until the pasta and potatoes are cooked and soft, about 15 minutes. Finally, remove the veggie soup from heat and serve on its own or with some fresh parmesan cheese and parsley.

Step 4: Enjoy!

Once prepared, allow the soup to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Store this soup in the airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove top.

    I’m wondering if you’ve tried making the Italian version of this recipe? Progresso discontinued their vegetable Italiano and it was my favorite 🙁

    Absolutely loved this soup! It is even better than the canned version (which should be obvious, all of your recipes are outstanding). I made a huge batch to bring for our lunches every day this week and it was the perfect cozy meal to get us through the first week of 2021! Will definitely be making this one often 🙂

    Hello,

    Is it tomato paste or tomato sauce? When I click on tomato paste it brings up tomato sauce.

    I have the tri-color rotini at the house and then maybe a “vegetable” rotini. Do you think that will be okay to add, or would you suggest not? Look forward to trying 🙂

      I think either would work! The vegetable based one may get softer, but if you don’t mind that then thats okay!

    This soup was so good and easy to make. I added a half teaspoon of dill and a tablespoon of Better Than Bullion seasoned vegetable base. Wowza! This is a keeper!

      Hi there! About the same time – probably the last 15 minutes – just keep an eye on them so they don’t get too soft. Enjoy!
