Sprinkle in the dried thyme, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to distribute the seasonings evenly.

Step 8

Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low.

Step 9

Cover the pot and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
