Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery ribs, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 zucchini, diced
Liquids and Canned Goods
- 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sauté vegetables: In a large pot over medium heat, add the chopped onion, sliced carrots, chopped celery, and minced garlic. Cook them until they are softened and fragrant, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
- Add remaining ingredients: Add the diced zucchini, canned diced tomatoes with their juice, vegetable broth, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Simmer the soup: Raise the heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and vegetables to cook through.
- Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and enjoy immediately.
