Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop Vegetables

    Dice the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and potato into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.

Cooking

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

  4. 5

    Simmer the Soup

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

  5. 6

    Add Spinach and Optional Add-ins

    Stir in the spinach and any optional add-ins like cooked chicken or lemon juice. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach wilts.
