Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent. Next, add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Carrots and Celery

    Incorporate the diced carrots and celery into the pot. Stir well and cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

  3. 3

    Include Broth and Tomatoes

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add the diced tomatoes along with their juices. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Season the Soup

    Add the bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well.

  5. 5

    Bring to a Boil

    Increase the heat and bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer.

Cooking

  1. 6

    Simmer

    Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

  2. 7

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If using, add the diced zucchini, green beans, and chickpeas to the pot after the soup has simmered for 20 minutes. Stir to combine and let it cook for an additional 10 minutes.

  3. 8

    Final Touches

    Once the vegetables are tender and the flavors are well combined, remove the bay leaves. Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving.
