Twenty simple minutes to prep the vegetables and you can flip a switch to enjoy this dish later in the day without having to babysit a pot on the stove. The delicate and flavorful tomato forward broth cradles familiar vegetables like carrots, spinach and celery like little jewels in each spoonful. Dried herbs, like the basil and oregano here, are ideal for long and slow cooked dishes like this one, where they can slowly impart their herbaceous goodness into the entire dish.
