Instructions: This quick and easy soup might become a favorite because, in addition to the potatoes and carrots, you can add just about any vegetable you have on hand. Try adding some diced turnips or tomatoes, or chopped broccoli, or frozen peas. You get the idea.

Heat the oil in a large pot over moderate heat and saute the potatoes, carrots, and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the stock and bring to a simmer.

Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.

Serves 4 to 6.
