Soup Base Ingredients

Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Broth

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and add the bay leaf.

  3. 3

    Season the Soup

    Add salt, black pepper, and fresh herbs. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot.
