Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 4 medium carrots
• 2 medium zucchini
• 2 medium bell peppers
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 2 cups cauliflower florets
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing your vegetables: slice the onion into thin strips, mince the garlic, and chop the carrots, zucchini, and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Separate the broccoli and cauliflower into small florets.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 3

Add the chopped carrots, zucchini, and bell peppers to the pot. Stir well to combine with the onion and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 4

Next, add the broccoli and cauliflower florets. Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring all the vegetables are covered. If needed, add a bit more broth or water.

Step 5

Stir in the fresh thyme, rosemary, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Cover the pot and let the vegetables simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 8

Serve the savory simmered vegetables hot as a wholesome side dish or a light main course. Enjoy!
