Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

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

    Add Vegetables

    Add the diced carrots and celery to the pot. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

    Add Broth and Tomatoes

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add the diced tomatoes along with the bay leaves. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Soup

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Finish the Soup

    Remove the bay leaves and stir in the chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
