How to prepare vegetable broth:
Start with water in a saucepan. Add previously washed vegetables, including carrots, onions, celery, red pepper, cilantro, 1 or 2 garlic cloves and tomato. Cook the vegetables for approximately 1 hour at medium heat. Strain the broth, pressing the vegetables against a colander to extract their full flavor.
DIRECTIONS
- In a large pan, place broth, garlic, tomato sauce, scallion, cilantro, potatoes, taro, tannier, pumpkin and corn. Bring to a boil, then lower temperature to medium-low. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook partially covered for 20 minutes. Stir periodically.
- Add the carrot and guasca; cook for an additional 15 minutes, until broth has thickened and carrot is tender.
- Adjust seasoning.
- Serve with a dash of cream, capers and avocados.
