Instructions
- Saute Veggies: In a large stock pot, heat olive oil to medium. Add onion, garlic, celery, and carrots and saute for 8 minutes. Add parsley, salt, sage, and diced tomatoes, mix well, and saute for another 5 minutes.
- Add Stock: Add stock, bay leaves, and potatoes. Turn the heat to high and bring it all to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes are fork tender.

Notes
- Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
- Choose firm potatoes like red or Yukon gold to maintain texture in the soup.
- Canned diced tomatoes or fresh Roma tomatoes can be used to provide the recommended amount.
- Vegetable stock keeps the soup vegetarian; chicken stock can be used as an alternative for a richer flavor.
- Spinach may be substituted for kale but add it in the last 5 minutes of cooking to prevent overcooking.
- Chop vegetables and potatoes evenly to ensure uniform cooking throughout the soup.
