SOUP & SALAD

Method

SOUP & SALAD

  1. 1

    Saute aromatics

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onion; cook until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Build the base

    Add carrots and celery; cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

  3. 3

    Add heartier veggies

    Stir in potatoes and green beans; cook 2-3 minutes to begin softening.

  4. 4

    Add tomatoes and broth

    Pour in diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Add bay leaf and thyme. Season lightly with salt.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Simmer 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.

  6. 6

    Add quick-cooking veggies and pasta

    Stir in zucchini, corn, peas, and pasta (if using). Cook until vegetables are just tender and pasta is al dente.

  7. 7

    Finish and season

    Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Remove bay leaf.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot.
