Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 cups beef or chicken broth
  • 1 large onion (diced)
  • 3 stalks celery (sliced)
  • 12 cups carrots (sliced or diced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (crushed)

  2. Stir in the diced onion, sliced celery, and diced carrots; cook for about 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. Add the crushed garlic and cook for another minute, allowing it to impart its aromatic essence into the mix.

  5. Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and broth; bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
