This Green Olive Soup is a savory and unique dish, blending the briny flavors of green olives with aromatic herbs and vegetables for a deliciously comforting and hearty bowl of soup. A must-try for olive lovers!

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large carrot, diced
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup green olives, pitted and chopped
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for extra brightness)

Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the diced carrot and celery to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour in the vegetable broth and add the chopped green olives, diced potato, thyme, oregano, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.
  • Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce the heat and cook uncovered for about 25–30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors are well blended.
  • Remove the bay leaf, and taste the soup. Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice (if using) to adjust the seasoning.
  • Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • If you prefer a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to blend it to your desired consistency.
  • Green olives can vary in saltiness, so be cautious when adding salt to the soup.
  • This soup pairs wonderfully with a slice of crusty bread for dipping.
