Minestra di Riso con Verdure

Finely dice the yellow onion, carrot, and celery stalk. Mince the garlic cloves.

In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion, carrot, and celery stalk. Sauté gently for 8-10 minutes until the vegetables are softened but not browned.

Add the minced garlic cloves and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
