Directions

Step 1

Finely dice the onion, slice the carrots and celery, and mince the garlic. Add them to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 7

Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until the peas are heated through.
