Directions
Pour the vegetable broth into a saucepan, then add the potatoes along with salt, oregano, parsley, cilantro, and pepper. Turn the heat to medium-high and bring everything to a boil. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, until the potatoes begin to soften. Next, stir in the garlic, then toss in the red bell pepper, onion, leek, carrot, and celery. Lower the heat and let the stew simmer gently for another 10 minutes or so, until the potatoes are really tender when you poke them with a fork. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed before serving.
