1 bay leaf
In a large pot saute chopped onion and garlic in olive oil until soft. Meanwhile slice carrots and celery into thin slices. Cut potato into cubes. Add all remaining ingredients to the pot EXCEPT peas. Add one and a half canfuls of water, if you like a thinner soup add more.Add salt, pepper, basil, oregano, and parsley to taste. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and stir occasionally and taste to see if seasoning is needed for about 45 minutes or until potatoes are fully cooked, add the peas at the end to just heat through..i found if you add them in the beginning they break easily and make the soup mushy. Remove Bay Leaf before serving.
You can add or exclude any of the veges. ENJOY!
