Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions, carrots, and celery, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the onions are translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

    Combine Broth and Tomatoes

    Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes (with their juice) into the pot.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Season the Soup

    Add the bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine all the ingredients.

  2. 5

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Stir in the chopped spinach and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes until wilted.

Finishing Touches
