Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Bell Pepper and Tomatoes

    Stir in the chopped bell pepper and diced tomatoes. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and the flavors to meld.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Add salt, black pepper, and chili powder to the pot. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.

  4. 4

    Pour in the Broth

    Pour the vegetable broth into the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish with Cilantro

    Once the mixture has simmered, stir in the chopped cilantro. Allow it to cook for an additional 2 minutes before removing from heat.
