• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

1 carrot (chopped)

1 yellow onion (chopped)

1 yukon gold potato (chopped)

1/2 zucchini (chopped)

3 cloves garlic

1 1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp turmeric

7 cups water

1 cup cappellini pasta (or macaroni)

Parsley (dried or fresh, for garnish)

Directions

Add the carrot, onion, potato, zucchini and garlic to a pan over medium heat along with the turmeric and salt. Saute until fragrant, approximately 5 minutes. Pour in the 5 cups of water, and bring a roaring boil. Lower the heat, and simmer, uncovered, for approximately 10 minutes.

When safe to handle, using an immersion blender or countertop blender, combine the soup until a velvety smooth broth is formed. You can add more water as needed to thin to a desired consistency.

At this time, add the noodles of choice to the soup, and cook for approximately 8 minutes, until cooked through. Add dried or fresh diced parsley and enjoy.
