1-2dasheshot pepper flakes or black pepper (if desired)
salt*
½-1teaspoonoregano
½-1teaspoonbasil
This all depends on if you use homemade broth or store bought, I find store bought very salty so I don't add salt. Taste the soup when almost done then adjust for salt.
EXTRAS
3-4tablespoonsfreshly grated parmesan cheese
1-2teaspoonsfreshly chopped parsley
Instructions
In a large pot add the oil and chopped carrot, celery and onion. Cook on medium heat until the onion is transparent about 3 minutes stirring often so the veggies don't burn.
Add the potatoes, tomatoes, vegetable broth and spices, mix to combine. Bring to a boil then reduce heat. Cover the pot and simmer for about 20 minutes, uncover and cook for about 5-10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Serve immediately topped with freshly chopped parsley and or freshly grated parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
