Follow these step-by-step directions to create your daily dose of comfort:
Prepare the Base:
In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, being careful not to burn it.
Add the Vegetables:
Toss in the diced carrots, celery, and potatoes.
Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften slightly.
Simmer the Soup:
Add enough water or vegetable broth to fully cover the vegetables (around 6 cups).
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Incorporate the Peas and Seasonings:
Stir in the frozen peas and let the soup cook for another 5 minutes.
Season with salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper, and oregano to taste.
Blend or Serve:
If you prefer a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to blend it to your desired consistency. For a chunkier soup, serve as is.
Finish and Enjoy:
Serve hot with a slice of crusty bread, a dollop of yogurt, or a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added freshness.
