Method

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.
