Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
