Tuna and Vegetable Soup

Instructions

1. 1

   Sauté the aromatics and vegetables

   • Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
   • Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.
   • Add the minced garlic and dried thyme, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
2. 2

   Simmer the soup

   • Pour in the water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
   • Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
3. 3

   Add the tuna and spinach

   • Stir in the drained, flaked tuna and the fresh spinach.
   • Cook for just 2-3 minutes more, until the spinach has wilted and the tuna is heated through.
   • Be careful not to overcook, as the tuna can become tough.
