How to cook vegetable potato soup

Step-by-step directions and a few tips to get the best flavor and texture.

1. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil, butter, diced onion, carrots, celery, potatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir occasionally for about 10 minutes, until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.
2. Add the broth: Pour in the vegetable broth, increase heat to bring the pot to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer. If it spits or boils vigorously, lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the vegetables reach your preferred tenderness.
3. Finish and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with a generous sprinkle of high-quality Parmesan, a few basil leaves if desired, and slices of sourdough to soak up the broth.
