Heat a large cast iron pot over medium heat. Once hot add the oil and onions to the pot and saute for a few minutes until the onions are soft. Then add the garlic and stir for a minute for the garlic to release it's flavor.
Now add the remaining ingredients- except the parsley. Stir to combine, place a lid on the pot and let cook for 20-25 minutes.
Taste the soup and add salt and pepper to taste.
Just before serving add the parsley. Serve hot and store any leftovers in the fridge.
