Method
- Step 1: Start by chopping your vegetables into bite-sized pieces. I love using a mix of carrots, celery, and onions for that classic flavor.
- Step 2: In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add your chopped vegetables and sauté them until they're soft and fragrant.
- Step 3: Pour in your broth of choice and bring it to a gentle simmer. This is where the magic begins!
- Step 4: Add in any canned tomatoes, beans, or lentils, and stir well. Let it simmer for at least 20 minutes to allow all those flavors to meld together.
- Step 5: Finally, add your herbs, spices, and any pasta or rice. Cook until everything is tender and delicious. Don't forget to taste and adjust the seasoning as needed!
Notes
Storing your soup properly will help keep it fresh and tasty: Let the soup cool before transferring it to airtight containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for longer shelf life.
