Instructions 

  • In a large dutch oven, or soup pot, heat oil over medium heat.
  • Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes and then add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds more. 
  • Add remaining ingredients and bring soup to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. 
  • Optional: Use an immersion blender a couple of times to make the broth a little thicker. (This is completely optional and does not change the flavor as much as it does the texture.)
  • Serve hot with your favorite toppings!
