Soup of the Day Recipe

Sauté the Base Ingredients

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add Vegetables

Add the diced carrots, diced celery, and diced potatoes to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Season and Add Liquids

Sprinkle in the dried thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Pour in the vegetable broth and water. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Simmer the Soup

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Add Fresh Ingredients

Remove the bay leaf. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and lemon juice for a bright flavor. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade soup of the day!
