Equipment

Notes

  • Cut potatoes into evenly sized pieces so they cook at the same rate.

  • Don’t skip the tomato paste—it deepens the flavor of the broth. Use tomato paste that comes in a tube, and you can keep it in the fridge for 6 months or more!

  • Add extra veggies like corn or green beans for more variety.
