- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)

Instructions
- Heat oil in a 4 quart Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat until the hot oil sizzles, about 1 minute. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
