Bowl Of Soup Recipe

Sauté the Vegetables

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

Add Remaining Vegetables

Add the diced carrots and celery to the pot. Cook for about 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.

Combine Broth and Tomatoes

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the canned tomatoes along with their juice. Stir to combine.

Season the Soup

Add the bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Finish and Serve

Remove the bay leaves and stir in the chopped fresh herbs. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot in bowls.
