Salad Ingredients

Method

Salad Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lettuce

    Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Add Croutons and Cheese

    Add the croutons and grated Parmesan cheese on top of the lettuce in the bowl.

  3. 3

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad and sprinkle with black pepper to taste. Toss the salad gently to combine all ingredients.

Soup Directions

  1. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, celery, and potatoes. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

  2. 5

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  3. 6

    Simmer the Soup

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

  4. 7

    Taste and Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

  5. 8

    Serve

    Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve alongside the prepared Caesar salad.
