Ingredients
  • 1½ large yellow or white onions, chopped into ¾-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
  • 3 medium carrots, sliced lengthwise and cut into ¾-inch pieces (about 2¼ cups)

Method
  1. In a Dutch oven or soup pot, cook onions, carrots, and celery with 1 tablespoon water over medium-high heat for 8 minutes, stirring frequently and adding water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed to prevent sticking.
  2. Stir in mushrooms and garlic; cook 5 minutes more, stirring frequently and adding water as needed.
  3. Stir in potatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
  4. Add 5 cups of water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low.
