Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 Yukon Gold potato, peeled and diced
1 carrot, peeled and diced
1 tomato, diced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but that's easily remedied by adjusting the amount of cayenne pepper used. Other than that, it was a delicious and hearty soup.
