Soups Recipe

Instructions

   Add Vegetables

   Add the diced carrots and celery to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.

   Add Broth and Seasonings

   Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth. Add the bay leaf, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

4. 4

   Simmer the Soup

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes.

5. 5

   Add Mixed Vegetables

   Stir in the mixed vegetables and continue to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.

6. 6

   Finish and Serve

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