Ingredients for Soup du Jour

Method

Directions for Soup du Jour

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

  3. 3

    Combine Broth and Tomatoes

    Pour in the 4 cups of vegetable broth and add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices) to the pot. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Add the green beans, bay leaf, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Soup

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

  6. 6

    Final Touches

    Remove the bay leaf from the soup. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
