Pour olive oil in large stock pot. Add onions and sauté on medium heat until very soft and try not to brown.
 
Add the carrots with a pinch of salt and stir occasionally for about 5 minutes per added vegetable.
 
Once all the vegetables are in the pot and have sizzled a bit with the onions add the water and bay leaves. Let the soup simmer (bubbling lightly) for about 30 minutes until the vegetables soften.
