Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the carrots, celery, zucchini, red bell pepper, and potato. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, to slightly soften the vegetables.

Add the dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
