Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 3 minutes, until the onion is transparent. Add the carrots, celery, and red pepper to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Add the cumin, chili powder, oregano, chili flakes (if using), and stock to the pot and bring it to a boil.
