Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Wash and peel the carrots and potatoes. Chop the carrots, celery, onion, and potatoes into small, even-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Greens

    If using fresh spinach or kale, wash thoroughly and chop coarsely.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

  2. 4

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and water. Add the chopped potatoes, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  3. 5

    Simmer the Soup

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

  4. 6

    Add Greens

    Stir in the chopped spinach or kale and lemon juice. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes until the greens are wilted.

  5. 7

    Final Seasoning

    Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary. Remove bay leaves before serving.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve the Soup
