Ingredients

  • Olive oil: A healthy fat that is essential for sautéing the vegetables and adding richness to the soup.
  • 1 carrot, grated: Carrots add a natural sweetness and vibrant color to the soup, along with plenty of vitamins and antioxidants.
  • 1 green pepper, diced: Green peppers bring a slightly bitter, fresh flavor to the mix, balancing out the sweetness of the carrots.
  • 1 red pepper, diced: Red peppers are sweet and packed with vitamin C, contributing both flavor and nutrition to the soup.
  • 1 yellow pepper, diced: Yellow peppers add a mild sweetness and bright color, making the soup visually appealing and delicious.
  • 3 potatoes, diced: Potatoes add heartiness and a creamy texture to the soup, making it more filling and comforting.
  • 1.2 liters (6 cups) water: Water is the base of the soup, bringing all the flavors together. You can also use vegetable or chicken broth for added flavor.
  • Salt and pepper to taste: Essential seasonings that enhance the natural flavors of the vegetables.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Start by chopping the onion and setting it aside. Grate the carrot, and dice the green, red, and yellow peppers, as well as the potatoes.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the grated carrot and diced peppers to the pot. Continue to sauté for another 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and release their flavors.
  4. Add the Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine them with the sautéed vegetables.
  5. Add Water and Season: Pour in the water, making sure all the vegetables are submerged. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  7. Adjust Seasoning and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can mash some of the potatoes with a fork or blend a portion of the soup before serving.
  8. Serve Hot: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. You can garnish it with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor and color.
