Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Greens

    Rinse and roughly chop the seasonal greens.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, sautéing until the onions are translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add the Vegetables

    Stir in the chopped carrots, celery, and potatoes. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 5

    Pour in the Broth

    Add the vegetable broth and water to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 6

    Season the Soup

    Once boiling, add salt, black pepper, thyme, and the bay leaf. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

  5. 7

    Add the Greens

    Stir in the seasonal greens and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until they are wilted and tender.

  6. 8

    Finalize the Soup

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