Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Vegetables

    Wash and peel the carrots and potatoes. Chop all vegetables (carrots, celery, onion, potatoes, garlic) into small, even-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Heat Olive Oil

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Pour in the vegetable broth and water. Add the potatoes, salt, pepper, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.

  4. 6

    Simmer the Soup

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

  5. 7

    Add Spinach

    Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until wilted.

  6. 8

    Final Seasoning

    Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Serving

  1. 9
