Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

  4. Add the mixed vegetables, dried basil, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together.
  5. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Taste the soup, adding more salt or pepper if needed. If you prefer a stronger flavor, you can add more herbs.
  7. Serve hot, garnishing each bowl with fresh parsley for a touch of brightness.

Notes

Cut vegetables uniformly for even cooking. Taste as you go to adjust the seasoning. Fresh herbs can elevate the flavor.
