Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop Vegetables

    Peel and chop the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and potatoes into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 3

    Add Remaining Vegetables

    Stir in the chopped carrots, celery, and potatoes, and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 4

    Add Liquids and Seasonings

    Pour in the vegetable broth and water, then add the bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 5

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

  5. 6

    Finish the Soup

    Remove the bay leaves, and stir in chopped parsley and lemon juice if desired. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
