Description
A bright and simple bowl of comfort filled with warm, sweet carrot aroma and a hint of garlic and fresh herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 carrots, chopped
- 4 celery stalks, chopped
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley) for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.
