4 14.5 oz cans low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth

3 cups peeled and diced potatoes ½-inch thick, from about 3 medium
⅓ cup chopped fresh parsley
2 bay leaves
0.5 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

1.5 cups chopped frozen or fresh green beans
1.25 cups frozen or fresh corn
1 cup frozen or fresh peas

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
