Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, sliced carrots, chopped celery, and diced zucchini; season lightly with salt. Sauté for about 5 minutes until tender.
  2. Stir in peeled sweet potato and cook for 1 minute. Add minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, and tomato paste; mix well.
