Ingredients

• Potatoes - 400 grams, peeled and diced
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Carrot - 1 medium, diced
• Celery - 1 stalk, diced
• Vegetable broth - 500 ml
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

3. Stir in the diced potatoes and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
