Soup Du Jour Recipe

Soup Preparation

1. 1

   Sauté the Base

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

2. 2

   Add Vegetables

   Add the diced carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.

3. 3

   Pour in Stock

   Pour in the vegetable stock, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil.

4. 4

   Season the Soup

   Once boiling, add salt, black pepper, thyme, and the bay leaf. Reduce heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes.

5. 5

   Add Remaining Vegetables

   After 15 minutes, add the diced zucchini, chopped spinach, and diced tomatoes to the pot. Stir and let simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes until all vegetables are tender.

6. 6

   Finish and Serve

   Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
