• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Peel and slice the carrots, chop the celery, and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Trim and cut the zucchini into small chunks, and trim the green beans into 1-inch pieces. Add them to the pot, along with the can of diced tomatoes (including the juices). Stir to combine.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the bay leaf, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together and bring the soup to a boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 25–30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf and stir in freshly chopped parsley just before serving.

Step 9

Serve the soup hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side. Enjoy!
