Chef’s Soup Of The Day Recipe

Sauté the Vegetables

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Incorporate the Base

Simmer

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Add Green Beans and Finish

Add the chopped green beans and simmer for another 5-10 minutes until tender. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Garnish and Serve

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
