Veggies whatever you fancy ( carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, capsicum, zucchini)
In a large pot over medium heat, splash in some olive oil and sauté the onions, garlic and the hard veggies such as carrots & celery. Stir and allow to cook until softened.
Stir in white beans, coconut milk, thyme, pepper flakes & Italian seasoning. Combine and then pour in vegetable stock. Season with salt, add the bay leaves and sprig of rosemary.
Bring pot to a low boil and allow to cook for 10 minutes. Add all the soft green veggies on top such as broccoli, zucchini, cauliflower & capsicum. Put the lid on and lightly steam veggies on the top.
Serve up when the veggies are the way you like them. I think its best to keep them a bit on the crunchy side for extra nutrient benefits.
Once served in your bowl squeeze in a bit of lime or lemon and you have yourself a nourishing bowl full of veggies and some plant based protein.
