Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

  2. 2

    Add Remaining Vegetables

    Add the diced carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot. Sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add the canned diced tomatoes. Stir to combine all ingredients.

  4. 4

    Season the Soup

    Add bay leaves, salt, black pepper, and thyme to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Soup

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

  6. 6

    Finish the Soup

    Remove bay leaves, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Stir in chopped fresh parsley and lemon juice before serving.

Bread Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the fresh bread loaf into thick slices just before serving to ensure freshness. Optionally, you can toast the slices lightly if desired.
