Homemade Soup Of The Day Recipe

Wash and peel all the vegetables. Chop the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, potatoes, and tomatoes into small pieces. Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into 1-inch pieces.

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the chopped carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Pour in the vegetable broth and water. Add the green beans, tomatoes, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.

Increase the heat and bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Remove the bay leaf from the soup before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve the soup hot in bowls accompanied by slices of crusty bread.
