Soup Of The Day Recipe

Soup Directions

1. 1

   Sauté Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery, and sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Garlic

   Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

3. 3

   Combine Broth and Tomatoes

   Pour in the vegetable broth and add the canned diced tomatoes. Stir to combine.

4. 4

   Season the Soup

   Add the dried thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.

5. 5

   Simmer the Soup

   Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

6. 6

   Cook Pasta (Optional)

   If using pasta, add it to the pot during the last 10 minutes of simmering. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

7. 7

   Finish and Serve

   Remove the bay leaf and stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot.
