• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander

• 2 tablespoons chopped, for garnish fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
