Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the minced chipotle pepper, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and dried oregano to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the spices and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
