A vibrant and flavorful soup that combines the freshness of vegetables with a zesty kick.
Heat a medium soup pot over medium heat.
Ensure the pot is evenly heated before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Add the olive oil to the pot and let it heat up.
Swirl the oil around the pot to coat the bottom evenly.
Add the chopped bell pepper, onion, celery, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
Add the stewed tomatoes and tomato puree to the pot. Stir to combine.
Break up the stewed tomatoes with the spoon for a smoother texture.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cover the pot partially to retain moisture while allowing steam to escape.
Stir in the chopped cilantro and adjust seasoning to taste.
Add the cilantro just before serving to preserve its fresh flavor.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
Pair with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
