Ingredients

• Carrots - 100 grams, diced
• Celery - 100 grams, diced
• Onion - 50 grams, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Vegetable broth - 500 ml
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh thyme - 1 teaspoon, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
