Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 large carrot diced
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil

  • 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ¼ cup roughly chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until slightly softened.
