Gather the following ingredients from your pantry and fridge: 2 carrots, olive oil, 1 onion, 2 peppers, 1 leek, water, 2 potatoes, salt, black pepper, 50 grams of noodles, parsley, 2 eggs, and 100 grams of Greek yogurt or sour cream.

Cooking with Love

Begin this culinary journey by warming a drizzle of olive oil in a large pot. Add the finely chopped carrots and let them fry gently for a minute, infusing the oil with their sweet, earthy flavor. Next, introduce the onion to the pot, allowing it to soften and become translucent, a process that takes another minute. Stir in the peppers and leek, cut into bite-sized pieces, and let the mixture fry for an additional minute, layering the flavors.

Now, it’s time to transform this sautéed medley into a soup. Fill the pot with water, enough to submerge the vegetables, and cover it with a lid. Bring to a boil, then add diced potatoes seasoned with salt and black pepper. Allow the soup to simmer for 10-12 minutes, until the potatoes are tender but firm.

As the final flourish, sprinkle in the noodles, letting them cook for 3 minutes, just enough to soften. Finely chop a handful of parsley and stir it into the pot, mingling its fresh aroma with the rich flavors of the soup. Just before serving, whisk together the eggs and Greek yogurt (or sour cream), and gently mix them into the soup, creating a creamy, velvety texture that promises to delight.
