Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Base

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

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

  3. 3

    Pour in Broth

    Add the vegetable broth to the pot. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil.

  4. 4

    Add Vegetables

    Once boiling, add the diced potatoes, chopped green beans, and diced tomatoes. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

  5. 5

    Incorporate Spinach

    Stir in the chopped spinach, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Finish and Garnish

    Remove the bay leaf, check seasoning, and adjust if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.

Bread Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Bread

    While the soup is simmering, slice the crusty bread into thick slices. Optionally, you can toast them lightly in a toaster or oven for added crispiness.
