List of items needed to make a dish.

Chopped vegetables:

3 little onions – Gives a rich and tasty taste.

2 carrots – To add a bit of sweetness and bright color.

100 grams of celery, which is approximately half a cup when diced, gives a pleasant aroma and adds a mild celery taste.

1 leek (white and light green parts only, chopped, optional) – Adds a mild onion flavor, but you can leave it out if you don’t like it.

Base for Soup:

Olive oil – To cook the vegetables in a pan.

500 grams of starchy potatoes (around 2 cups diced) – These potatoes are more likely to become soft and create a smooth texture. Russet potatoes are a great option.

Add salt according to your taste. It is important for improving the flavor.

Black pepper (as much as you like) – Gives a hint of heat.

2 bay leaves – Adds a gentle herbal scent to the soup.
Not required.

Use either vegetable broth or water (the quantity depends on how thick you want it to be). Vegetable broth adds more flavor, while water creates a basic broth.

Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme can be used as a garnish to add a bright and fresh flavor to the soup.
