- Pour in the vegetable broth and add the diced tomatoes along with their juice. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Sprinkle in cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream (or dairy-free substitute). Let it warm for another 2-3 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
Notes
Feel free to swap in any vegetables on hand, and for a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes after cooking. You can add cayenne pepper for heat.
