Additional Ingredients (optional)

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and continue to cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    To the pot, add the diced carrots, celery, and potatoes. Stir to combine and cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Broth

    Pour in the vegetable broth and stir in the dried thyme, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Finishing Touches

  1. 4

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If using chickpeas and spinach, stir them into the soup during the last 5 minutes of cooking. This will warm the chickpeas and wilt the spinach without overcooking them.

  2. 5

    Season and Serve

    Remove the bay leaves from the soup. Stir in the freshly chopped parsley and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot with crusty bread.
