Instructions

  1. Begin by cutting up the mirepoix for the recipe. That consists of onion, celery, and carrots. Cut the celery and carrots into the same size slices, so they will cook evenly and at the same time.
  2. Heat some oil in a pot and cook the celery and carrots for a few minutes.
  3. Then, add in the onions as well as minced garlic.
  4. Add in a medley of frozen vegetables, whatever you have on hand. Let them cook for a few minutes to defrost and get a bit soft.
  5. Then, add salt, oregano, garlic powder, chili flakes if you like it a bit spicy, thyme, and a bit of ground sage.
  6. Pour in a can of whole tomatoes and let them cook for a few minutes.
  7. Finally, add in the broth or water with a couple bay leaves and bring to a boil. Cook for as long as you want, at least 15 minutes and up to an hour, and you’re ready to eat!
