Method

Preparing the Base

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Begin by finely chopping 1 onion, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 medium carrots, and 2 celery stalks. Keep each vegetable separate for sequential cooking.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large soup pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Carrots and Celery

    Stir in the chopped carrots and celery. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Cooking the Soup

  1. 4

    Incorporate the Tomatoes and Broth

    Add 1 can (14 oz) of diced tomatoes (with juice) and 4 cups of vegetable broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.

  2. 5

    Season and Simmer

    Season the soup with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 25–30 minutes.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Blend for Creaminess (Optional)

    For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree the soup in the pot to your desired consistency, or transfer half the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.

  2. 7

    Add Fresh Herbs and Serve

    Stir in a handful of chopped fresh basil or parsley just before serving to add freshness. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot and garnish with extra herbs or a drizzle of olive oil.
