Preparation

  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the onion and garlic, then drizzle generously with olive oil. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients, then season generously with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce to medium heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning: this broth is better on the salty side!
