<human>:  What is a common soup recipe for beginners?
<bot>: A common soup recipe for beginners is a classic vegetable soup. You can start by sautéing a base of diced onion, carrot, and celery in a pot with some olive oil. Once the vegetables start to soften, add some minced garlic, diced potatoes, diced tomatoes, and some herbs and spices. Add enough chicken broth or vegetable broth to cover the vegetables, and let the soup simmer until the vegetables are tender. Add a handful of chopped greens or cooked beans for extra flavor, if desired. Serve with crusty bread for a simple meal. Enjoy!
