Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the sliced fennel and chopped celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
