Warm and comforting, this Tomato and Celery Soup is a perfect way to embrace healthy eating while savoring traditional flavors!

1

Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat for about 1 minute.

2

Chop the onion and garlic. Add them to the pot and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.

3

While the onion and garlic are cooking, dice the tomatoes and celery into small pieces.

4

Add the diced tomatoes and celery to the pot. Stir occasionally for about 5 minutes until they soften.

5

Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth and add 1 bay leaf, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.

6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

7

After simmering, remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or blend in batches if necessary.

8

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
