10 vegetable soup is a veggie-packed soup with a variety of different vegetables. This dairy free gluten free soup feels like a hug and is best enjoyed on a cold day with a side of crusty bread.

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Saute the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Saute for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, and kosher salt. Cook for 1 more minute.
Add the zucchini, bell peppers, green beans, white beans, crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil over medium high heat then reduce to a gentle simmer over medium-low to low heat. Cover and continue to cook for 12-15 minutes or until the vegetables are fork-tender.
Turn off the heat, discard the bay leaves, and stir in the fresh spinach and lemon juice. Season to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Serve with crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich (I used Miyoko's pepper jack slices to keep it dairy free).
