2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1-2 medium carrots diced
1 medium onion diced
1 red bell peppers diced
1 celeriac diced or 2-3 stalks of celery chopped small
2 pounds tomatoes chopped and blended in a blender
¼ cup rice or 2 handfuls of pasta
½ bunch of chopped parsley or 1-2 teaspoons dried parsley or basil
8 cups water or vegetable broth
salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Use 16-18oz canned Tomato puree, canned chopped tomatoes, canned diced tomatoes

Clean and chop the vegetables(onion, carrots, peppers, celery)
Heat up the oil in a soup pot on medium high and add the chopped vegetables. Saute them for few minutes until the flavor is developed.
Add the blended tomatoes and water or vegetable broth.
Add salt and pepper to your taste. Be careful if you use vegetable broth, as it might be already salty enough.
Simmer the soup until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
Add the pasta (or the rice) and let it cook for 7-8 minutes or until the rice or the pasta is tender.
When the soup is cooked, sprinkle the chopped parsley on top of it. If you like basil better, use basil instead of parsley.
Serve it warm or cold as you prefer.
