Step 1
Heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the 1 chopped onion and 1 chopped bell pepper, and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add the 2 chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down and become saucy, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Step 3
Pour in the 2 cups water or broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes so the flavors meld.
