Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

After 60 minutes, add the cubed potatoes and continue cooking for an additional 20–25 minutes or until the potatoes and veal are tender.
