Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 zucchinis, cubed
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by washing, peeling, and chopping all your vegetables. Using a fullstar ultimate veggie prep master can make slicing and dicing easier and faster, ensuring your vegetables are uniform for even cooking.
  2. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant and translucent—about 5 minutes.
  3. Add diced carrots, chopped celery, and bell pepper to the pot. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until slightly softened.
  4. Add the vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, dried thyme, and basil. Stir everything well, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer.
  5. Let the soup simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Meanwhile, prepare side dishes like crusty bread or salad.
  6. In the last 10 minutes, add the cubed zucchini and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Ladle the hot soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley or basil, and serve with bread or crackers.
