Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute, until fragrant.
Add the diced carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
