4. Add Vegetables:

   • Introduce the sliced carrots and diced potatoes into the pot. Allow the soup to simmer until the vegetables are tender.

5. Season the Soup:

   • Once the vegetables are cooked, add the fresh celery leaves and parsley. Season with beef-flavored bouillon and salt to taste. Stir well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.

6. Final Cooking:

   • Let the soup cook for an additional few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
