Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 onion
  • 1 leek
  • 2 stalks of celery
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 zucchini
  • Water or vegetable broth enough to cover vegetables
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil optional, for sautéing
  • Fresh herbs parsley, thyme, or basil for extra flavor

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Vegetables – Wash and chop all the vegetables into small pieces.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics – In a large pot, heat a little olive oil (if using) over medium heat. Add the onion, leek, and celery, and sauté for about 3-5 minutes until soft and fragrant.
  3. Add the Remaining Vegetables – Stir in the carrot, red pepper, and zucchini, letting them cook for another 2 minutes.
  4. Simmer the Soup – Pour in enough water or vegetable broth to cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes until all the vegetables are tender.
  5. Blend or Serve as Is – For a creamy texture, use a blender or immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier soup, serve it as is.
  6. Season and Garnish – Add salt, black pepper, and fresh herbs to taste. Serve warm and enjoy this healthy, metabolism-boosting meal!
