  • Tie the sprigs of parsley, thyme, and bay leaf with cooking twine and add to the pot. Lower the heat and cook for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let cool. Remove the herbs.
  • Gradually pour all the soup into the blender and puree.
  • Place a chinois strainer over the pot and return the soup to the pot (strained).
