Method

Cooking the Base

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

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

Building the Soup

  1. 3

    Add Broth and Seasonings

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

  2. 4

    Incorporate Vegetables

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and add the diced zucchini and potatoes. Cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Finishing the Soup

  1. 5

    Add Spinach

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

  2. 6

    Final Touches

    Remove the bay leaf. Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley just before serving.
