Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Peel and chop the carrots, celery, onion, potato, and garlic into small, even pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Spinach

    Wash the spinach thoroughly and roughly chop it if the leaves are large.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

  2. 4

    Add Potatoes and Broth

    Stir in the chopped potato and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Then pour in the vegetable broth and water, and add the bay leaf, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.

  3. 5

    Simmer the Soup

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

  4. 6

    Add Spinach

    Remove the bay leaf and stir in the chopped spinach. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a drizzle of lemon juice if desired.
