Creating Simple Carrot and Celery Soup with Italian Seasoning is straightforward. Follow these steps to make your delicious soup:

1. Heat Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until the onion is translucent.

4. Pour in Broth: Add the vegetable broth to the pot and bring to a boil.
5. Season it Up: Add the Italian seasoning, along with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Simmer: Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the carrots and celery are tender.
7. Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer it to a blender in batches.
8. Taste and Adjust: After blending, taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary.
9. Serve Hot: Garnish with fresh parsley (if desired) and serve immediately.

These simple steps ensure a wonderfully creamy soup that’s nutritious and satisfying.
