Heat oil in a large stock pot. Add onion, carrots and celery. Heat while stirring for 3-4 minutes or until onions are soft. Add the rest of the vegetables and heat for 1-2 more minutes. Add salt, thyme and oregano, stirring to coat the vegetables well. Add bay leaf and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer. Add tomatoes, stir, and allow soup to simmer until all the vegetables are cooked. Adjust seasonings to taste. Remove the bay leaf and serve with a pinch of fresh parmesan! |
