Step 1

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add the chopped carrots and celery to the pot, and cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

Add the chicken broth, bay leaf, and dried thyme to the pot.

Step 7

Season with salt and black pepper, stirring to combine all ingredients well.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the soup simmer for 30 minutes.
