Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop and Dice Vegetables

    Prepare all vegetables by washing and chopping them into small, even pieces. This includes dicing the carrots, celery, and potatoes, chopping the onion, and mincing the garlic.

  2. 2

    Gather Ingredients

    Ensure all ingredients are ready before starting the cooking process. This includes the vegetable broth, water, and all vegetables and seasonings.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Combine Base Ingredients

    In a large pot, combine the vegetable broth and water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.

  2. 4

    Add Vegetables

    Once the broth is boiling, add the diced carrots, celery, potatoes, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Stir well to combine.

  3. 5

    Season the Soup

    Add the bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper to the pot. Stir to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the soup simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
