Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium potatoes
- 4 medium tomatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
Roughly chop the tomatoes, onion, and garlic cloves.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to break down.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot and pour in the vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika if using. Stir well.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer the soup in batches to a blender if preferred. Be careful when blending hot liquids.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm with crusty bread or your favorite side.
