Seasonal Soup Recipe

Soup Preparation

1. 1

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

2. 2

   Add Tomatoes and Broth

   Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

3. 3

   Finish with Basil

   After 20 minutes, stir in the chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.

4. 4

   Serve

   Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot with slices of garlic toast on the side.
