Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the diced carrots and celery, and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes.

   Add Broth and Tomatoes

   Pour in the vegetable broth and add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice). Stir well to combine.

3. 3

   Season the Soup

   Add the bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes.

4. 4

   Finish and Serve

   Remove the bay leaves, stir in the fresh parsley, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot.
