Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

    Combine Remaining Ingredients

    Add the diced potato, vegetable broth, canned tomatoes (with their juice), and bay leaf to the pot. Stir to combine.

    Simmer the Soup

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

    Remove the bay leaf, stir in the chopped parsley, and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm.
