Making Simple Carrot and Celery Soup with Italian Seasoning is straightforward and enjoyable. Follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Vegetables: Peel and chop the carrots, dice the onion, and chop the celery into small pieces.
2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Add Carrots and Celery: Introduce the chopped carrots and celery to the pot. Sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Pour in Broth: Add the vegetable broth to the pot, bringing the mixture to a boil.
5. Season the Soup: Once boiling, reduce the heat and stir in the dried basil, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
6. Blend the Soup: Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a traditional blender. Caution: Let the soup cool slightly before blending.
7. Final Taste Adjustments: Taste the blended soup and adjust the seasoning as needed.
8. Serve Warm: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with fresh parsley or basil leaves if desired.
