The Soup That Changed Everything

Instructions:

1. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant (about 3 minutes).
2. Add the Broth and Potatoes: Add the sliced carrots, diced potatoes, and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
3. Season and Finish: Add your fresh herbs, salt, and pepper to taste. For a creamy version, stir in the cream or milk and simmer for another 5 minutes. If you’re adding pasta or dumplings, cook them according to package instructions and add them to the soup.
4. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or dill. Serve with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
