Soup Du Jour Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Sauté Vegetables

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

2. 2

   Add Remaining Vegetables

   Add the diced carrots, celery, and potato to the pot. Stir the mixture and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften.

3. 3

   Add Liquids and Seasonings

   Pour in the vegetable broth and add the canned diced tomatoes, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

4. 4

   Simmer Soup

   Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

5. 5

   Finish and Serve

   Remove the bay leaves from the soup. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
