My family has always been passionate about cooking and I grew up learning the secrets of Mediterranean cooking from my grandmother. Every family gathering was an opportunity to create something special, and her Mediterranean Soup was always a favorite. I wanted to recreate this special recipe to honor my grandmother and the memories we shared.
I started by sautéing onions, celery, carrots, and garlic in a large pot. I added in canned tomatoes, vegetable broth, and my favorite Mediterranean herbs and spices. I let it simmer for about an hour, and then I blended the soup until it was smooth and creamy.
The result was an incredibly flavorful and nutritious soup that not only reminded me of my grandmother, but that I also know my family will love. I’m sure it will become a staple at our holiday dinners for many years to come!
