📋 Ingredients
Here are the ingredients (amounts are in the recipe card below).
- Olive Oil: I use extra virgin olive oil.

- Slice garlic
- Cut vegetables into small pieces
- Cook garlic on medium heat
- Add vegetables little by little and cook
- Cover and simmer for 10 minutes on low heat
- Open and taste the umami and sweetness of your soup that comes out from vegetables.
- Add canned tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes
- Salt and pepper to your taste
When you eat it right away, the flavors might be a little light. But let it sit overnight, and its flavor will come together with one another for a more interesting taste!
It will last for 5 days in the fridge.
If you are a busy person, I recommend cooking it in large quantities, keeping half of it in a bag, and storing it in the freezer for some other time. It will last up to one month.
