Chef’s Soup Of The Day Recipe

Soup Preparation

1. 1

   Sauté the Vegetables

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

2. 2

   Add Garlic and Spices

   Stir in the minced garlic, bay leaves, and dried thyme. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3. 3

   Combine Broth and Tomatoes

   Pour in the vegetable broth and add the canned diced tomatoes (with juice). Bring the mixture to a boil.

4. 4

   Simmer the Soup

   Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the soup simmer for about 20-25 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

5. 5

   Season to Taste

   Remove the bay leaves, then season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving.
