Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables:

Finely chop the onion, celery stick, and leek.
Grate the carrot.
Dice the sweet peppers.
Chop the garlic.
Cut the potatoes into cubes.

2. Sauté the Vegetables:

In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent.
Add the celery, carrot, leek, sweet peppers, and garlic to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.

3. Season the Soup:

Season the sautéed vegetables with salt, pepper, and oregano to taste.

4. Add the Potatoes and Broth:

Add the cubed potatoes to the pot and pour in the vegetable broth.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

5. Add the Pasta:

Once the potatoes are tender, add the pasta to the pot.
Continue to simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked al dente.

6. Final Adjustments:

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
If the soup is too thick, you can add a bit more vegetable broth or water to reach your desired consistency.

7. Serve:

Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy this warm, comforting, and healthy meal!
