Healthy soup for sick people

A simple chicken noodle soup with lots of vegetables is a classic choice. It's soothing, easy to digest, and provides nutrients. You could also try a vegetable broth-based soup with plenty of greens like spinach or kale for extra vitamins.

Here's a simple recipe for a nutritious and comforting vegetable soup:

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 6 cups vegetable broth
• 2 cups chopped vegetables (such as zucchini, bell peppers, cauliflower, or broccoli)
• 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (or 2 fresh tomatoes, chopped)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
2. Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the soup to a simmer.
4. Add the chopped vegetables and diced tomatoes to the pot. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.
5. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or basil if desired.

Feel free to customize the soup by adding your favorite herbs, spices, or additional vegetables. It's a versatile recipe that you can adjust based on personal preferences and what ingredients you have on hand.
