Method

Soup Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.

    Combine Broth and Seasonings

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add the canned diced tomatoes, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 4

    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. 5

    Add Spinach

    Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes until wilted. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
