Prep Time 20 minutes minutes
Cook Time 50 minutes minutes
Total Time 1 hour hour 10 minutes minutes
Servings 4 servings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 (14oz) cans chopped tomatoes
- 2 large potatoes (or 3 medium, ~21oz/600g), diced to ½-inch cubes
- 2 cups vegetable stock
Heat olive oil in a large pot and toss in chopped onion and crushed garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion starts to brown and becomes fragrant. Add in the oregano and pepper. Cook for a minute more.
Pour in the canned tomatoes, diced potatoes and vegetable stock.
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer until all the ingredients are soft and cooked through. This will depend on the size of your potato chunks, but it should generally be cooked in 45 to 50 minutes.
Using an immersion (handheld) blender, blend into a smooth soup. If you don’t have an immersion blender, transfer the soup to a blender, blend it up in stages if the blender is too small, and return to the pot. Bring to a boil and remove from heat.
Serve with a sprinkle of dried basil, dried oregano or fresh basil leaves.
