Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the onion, carrots, and celery into small pieces to ensure they cook evenly. Mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

  2. 3

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and water. Stir to combine all ingredients.

  3. 4

    Season the Soup Base

    Add bay leaves, thyme, black pepper, and salt to the pot. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly.

  4. 5

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

  5. 6

    Final Taste Adjustment

    After simmering, taste the soup base and adjust the seasoning with salt if necessary. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
