Ingredients

1 Large tomato chopped
¼ cup white onion chopped
1 large garlic clove chopped
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
¾ cup carrots diced
¾ cup zucchini diced
¾ cup green beans chopped
1 cup of potato cubed
4 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
1 Parsley sprig
Salt and peppers to taste

Instructions

Place the chopped tomato, onion and garlic into your blender and process until you have a smooth sauce. (I used my mortar since my blender is already packaged for our move.)
Heat the oil in a medium-size pot over medium heat. Add the tomato sauce and diced carrots. Cook for 5 minutes.
After the 5 minutes, add cubed potatoes, diced zucchini, chopped green beans, and chicken stock. Turn heat to medium-high and cook for about 6 minutes or until it starts boiling. Once it starts boiling, reduces heat to low, adds the parsley branch, and cover. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes until all the vegetables are cooked. Season it with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve warm in bowls with some warm tortillas or a piece of bread.

Notes

You can substitute parsley and use cilantro or mint.
