ingredients

SAUTE
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (15g) or 1 tablespoon any vegetable oil (15g)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 tbsp)
- 1 cup onion, diced
-
DICE
- 1⁄2 cup celery
- 1 cup tomatoes
- 1 cup carrot
- 1 cup cabbage
- 1 cup broccoli (optional)
- 1 cup French beans (optional)

-
SEASONING
- 1 tablespoon italian seasoning
- 2 bay leaves (optional)
- 1⁄3 cup ketchup (80g)
- 1 dash black pepper (or to taste)
- 2 teaspoons salt (or to taste, if you have more water)
directions
- In a pot of 3-4 quarts, sauté garlic in vegetable oil in low heat. Before it turns brown, add onion, turn up the heat and sauté for 2 more minutes.
- Add all the diced vegetables.
- Add water to cover all vegetables and more water to 2 inches above the vegetables. (Vegetables give water while cooking so don't put in too much water if you want a really hearty soup).
- Add all the seasonings. Simmer for 2-3 hours. (I use a no-heat thermal pot and let sit for 12 hours. If you simmer with heat, remember to add water as necessary).
