A delicious and hearty vegetable soup perfect for a healthy and quick meal.
Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Ensure the pan is evenly coated to prevent sticking.
Add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
Covering the pot helps retain the flavors.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, and salt. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
