An Italian in my Kitchen

Serves: 4 Save

Ingredients (15)

2-3 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup carrot (chopped)
⅓ cup celery (chopped)
⅓ cup onion (minced)
4½ cups potatoes (medium cubed)
¾ cup canned pelati tomatoes (chopped)
3 cups vegetable broth
1-2 dashes hot pepper flakes or black pepper (if desired)
salt*
½-1 teaspoon oregano
½-1 teaspoon basil
This all depends on if you use homemade broth or store bought, I find store bought very salty so I don't add salt. Taste the soup when almost done then adjust for salt.:
EXTRAS:
3-4 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
1-2 teaspoons freshly chopped parsley
