- 3 Cups onion, chopped
- 2 Cups celery, chopped
- 2 Cups carrots, chopped
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
1. Chop your vegetables. The size you choose to chop your onions, carrots, and celery will vary depend on the recipe being prepared. However, as a general guideline: for sauteed recipes, chop small, for soups and stews, medium size, and for stock, broth or blended soups, larger size.
2. Cook vegetables over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil to a large skiller over medium-low heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery, mixing well to coat. Cook, stirring often, for 10-12 minutes, or until softened and onions are translucent. Adjust heat to prevent vegetables from browning.
