Method

Soup Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Broth

    Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the vegetable broth and add diced tomatoes, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Soup

    Reduce heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Salad Directions

    Mix Salad Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.

  2. 5

    Dress the Salad

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Drizzle over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Bun Directions

  1. 6

    Prepare the Dough

    In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add yeast mixture and olive oil. Knead until smooth.

  2. 7

    Let Dough Rise

    Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
