Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Base Ingredients

    In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Vegetables

    Stir in minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Potatoes and Broth

    Add the diced potatoes, vegetable broth, canned diced tomatoes (with juice), bay leaves, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Soup

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Final Touches

  1. 5

    Add Spinach

    If using fresh spinach, stir it into the soup during the last 5 minutes of cooking. If using frozen spinach, add it at the same time as the potatoes.

  2. 6

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Remove bay leaves before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil if desired.
