Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large carrots, sliced
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 whole bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 15-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots, chopped celery, and diced potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic.
Pour in the broth and add the green beans, bay leaf, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes with their juice.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the soup and stir well, allowing the broth to thicken slightly as it simmers for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the soup hot and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
