Method

Soup Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add the diced carrots and celery to the pot. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

  3. 3

    Combine Broth and Tomatoes

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

  4. 4

    Season the Soup

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

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Once the vegetables are tender, remove bay leaves. Stir in the chopped parsley and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot.

Salad Directions

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion.

    Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad ingredients. Drizzle balsamic vinaigrette on top.

  3. 8

    Season the Salad

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.

  4. 9
