In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes and zucchini to the pot and stir to combine with the other vegetables.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir in the dried thyme, dried oregano, and bay leaf.
Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 25 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
While the soup is simmering, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm the bread.
Place the rustic bread loaf on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the crust is crispy.
Stir the chopped fresh parsley into the soup and season with salt and black pepper. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Remove the bread from the oven. Let it cool slightly, then slice and spread with butter if desired.
Serve the hot vegetable soup with slices of warm, buttered rustic bread.
