  • 14.5 oz canned diced tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Cutting board and knife

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chop all your vegetables into bite-sized pieces; this helps ensure even cooking and a pleasant texture in your soup.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, then add the chopped carrots, celery, and onion and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Stir in the diced potatoes, vegetable broth, and canned diced tomatoes, bringing the mixture to a boil.
  2. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes and other vegetables are tender.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot.

Notes

Feel free to add other vegetables like corn, green beans, or zucchini. For extra flavor, you can add a bay leaf during simmering and remove before serving. A sprinkle of fresh parsley or cilantro before serving adds a nice touch.
