Soup Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Sautéing the Vegetables

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

  2. 2

    Adding Garlic

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

  3. 3

    Adding Broth and Tomatoes

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add the canned diced tomatoes (with juices). Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmering the Soup

    Add the mixed vegetables, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finishing Touches

    Remove the bay leaf, taste, and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley just before serving.
