2 large carrots
1/2 zucchini
1 large stalk celery
2 TBS olive oil
3 - 4 cups hot water
1 cube vegetable stock
1 tsp garlic powder
3 bay leaves

1. In a soup pot heat up the oil 2. Dice up the onion into very small pieces 3. Sauté the onions in the pot on med-low heat, add in the cube of stock and simmer with a lid for 3 - 4 mins 4. Peel and dice the carrots and zucchini. Smaller pieces work better in this soup. Chop the celery stalk as well |
6. Bring the soup to boil, then let simmer on low heat for 50 mins
7. Stir gently then let sit for 15 mins, this allows the soup to thicken and the peas to soften and absorb the liquid better
