• 4 cups Vegetable broth, low-sodium
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 large Potato, peeled and diced

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
