Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes peeled and cut into chunks, or more to taste

Instructions
- Combine potatoes, carrots, onion, celery, garlic, parsley, basil, bouillon, salt, and pepper in a large soup pot. Fill the pot with enough water to cover. Cover the pot and bring to a boil; cook until vegetables begin to soften, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat.

Recipe Tips
