Hearty Vegetable Medley Soup with Fresh Herb Garnish

Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic. Sauté until translucent.

Add the vegetables: Stir in the carrot, potatoes, red pepper, and tomatoes. Cook for a few minutes until slightly softened.

Season and simmer: Add salt, pepper, and enough water or broth to cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 25–30 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.

Blend (optional): For a creamier texture, blend part of the soup using an immersion blender or regular blender.

Finish and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning. Ladle into bowls and top with chopped parsley before serving.
