Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook and stir for 6-8 minutes, or until the vegetables start to soften.
  • Add the red bell pepper, garlic, Italian seasoning, pepper, and salt. Stir and cook for an additional 2 minutes to bloom the flavors.
