Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 3 medium Carrots
• 2 stalks Celery stalks
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 2 14-ounce cans Canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Bell pepper
• 1 leaf Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

Step 3

Chop the carrots and celery into bite-sized pieces and stir them into the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Pour in the vegetable broth, canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), and tomato paste. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Dice the zucchini and bell pepper, then add them to the pot along with the bay leaf, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

Remove the bay leaf from the pot and discard it.

Step 8

Using an immersion blender, blend the soup slightly to thicken it while still leaving chunks of vegetables for texture. Alternatively, you can transfer a portion of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.

Step 9

Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and lemon juice for brightness and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Step 10

Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
