- 1 1/2 cups celery about 4, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 large)
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 4 chicken broth low sodium, (14.5 oz) cans, plus more as desired

- 1/2 tsp rosemary thyme, and marjoram, dried
- salt to taste, freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
- 1/4 cup slightly packed , chopped fresh parsley
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice fresh
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add carrots, celery and onion and saute 3 - 4 minutes, add garlic and saute 30 seconds longer.
- Stir in chicken broth, barely, bay leaves, sage, rosemary, thyme, marjoram and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until barely is tender, about 50 - 60 minutes.
