Side Dish - Seasonal Soup Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Vegetables

   Stir in the chopped carrots, celery, and zucchini. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

3. 3

   Pour in the Broth

   Add the vegetable broth, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Spinach and Parsley

   In the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the fresh spinach and chopped parsley. Cook until the spinach is wilted.

5. 5

   Blend (Optional)

   For a creamier texture, use an immersion blender to purée the soup to your desired consistency.

6. 6

   Serve

   Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot as a side dish.
