Method 3 steps
Heat oil in a large pot over medium low heat. Add garlic, onion, celery, carrot, and a pinch of salt, and cook until onion is translucent. Avoid browning if you wish to keep the soup lighter in color.
Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook 30 minutes.
Remove herbs (if you wish) and check for taste. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
