Soup Ingredients

Method

Soup Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

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

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Broth

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.

  3. 3

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Add the diced tomatoes, green beans, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Finish the Soup

    Remove the bay leaf and stir in the chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Keep warm until serving.

Salad Directions

  1. 5

    Prepare Salad Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta cheese.

  2. 6

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to taste.

  3. 7

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving and toss to combine.

Crostini Directions

  1. 8

    Prepare Crostini

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the slices of sourdough or gluten-free bread with olive oil on both sides.

  2. 9

    Toast the Bread

    Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
