Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the 1 diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in the 2 sliced carrots and 2 cubed potatoes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown slightly.

  3. Step 3

    Add the 1 tsp smoked paprika and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in the 4 cups vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Season with the 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Taste and adjust if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if you like.

  6. Step 6

    For a smokier flavor, add a dash of liquid smoke or a pinch of chipotle powder along with the paprika.
