Ingredients: 1 onion, finely chopped; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 1 red bell pepper, diced; 1 green bell pepper, diced; 2 carrots, sliced; 1 zucchini, sliced; 1 cup green beans, trimmed; 1 cup peas, fresh or frozen; 1 cup artichoke hearts, quartered; 1 can diced tomatoes; 4 cups vegetable broth; 1 teaspoon smoked paprika; 1 teaspoon cumin; Salt and pepper to taste; Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent.
Add the diced red and green bell peppers to the pot and cook until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the sliced carrots, zucchini, green beans, peas, and quartered artichoke hearts. Cook the vegetables for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices and stir to combine with the vegetables.
Add the vegetable broth to the pot and season the mixture with smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well to incorporate the flavors.
Bring the Menestra De Verduras to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook, partially covered, for about 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still retain their shape.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper according to your preference.
Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking and the flavors have melded beautifully, remove the pot from the heat.
Serve the Menestra De Verduras hot in bowls, garnished with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, for a burst of freshness.
