Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• 4 cups vegetable broth or water
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: other vegetables like peas, corn, green beans

Instructions:

1. Cook the base: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent.
2. Add vegetables: Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot. Stir to mix everything well.
3. Simmer the soup: Pour in the vegetable broth or water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Cook until tender: Let the soup cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20-25 minutes. If using, add quick-cooking vegetables like peas or corn in the last 5 minutes.
5. Finish and serve: Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving for fresh flavor.
