Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Base

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    Stir in the minced garlic, chopped carrots, and celery. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

  3. 3

    Add Potatoes and Broth

    Add the cubed potato to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Season the Soup

    Add salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.

  5. 5

    Remove Bay Leaf

    Once the vegetables are cooked through, remove the bay leaf from the soup.

Serving

  1. 6

    Prepare Bread

    Garnish and Serve
