    In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.

    Add the minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth and add the diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes.

    Stir in the chopped spinach, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Cook for another 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
