Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Cooking the Soup

  1. 3

    Combine Broth and Seasonings

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  2. 4

    Season the Soup

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and add salt, black pepper, and thyme. If using optional add-ins like potatoes, green beans, or canned tomatoes, add them now.

  3. 5

    Simmer

    Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper if desired.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaf before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley, and enjoy!
