Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I heat up a tablespoon of olive oil in my large pot over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, I toss in the diced onion, carrots, and celery, letting them sauté until they soften and the kitchen fills with that delicious aroma—about 5 to 7 minutes. Then I add the minced garlic, stirring just until fragrant. This step sets the stage for all the flavors to come! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
