Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes
  • 2 large carrots
  • 1 medium onion
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Peel and dice the 4 potatoes and 2 carrots into 1/2-inch cubes. Finely chop the 1 onion.

  2. 2

    Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if you have it.
