Soup Of The Day Recipe

Sautéing the Vegetables

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Adding Garlic and Other Vegetables

Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant. Then, stir in the diced carrots, celery, and potatoes. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Simmering the Soup

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the diced tomatoes, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Finishing Touches

Once the vegetables are tender, remove the bay leaf and stir in the chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Serving

Serve the soup hot in bowls, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
