VEGETABLE AND PASTA TOMATO SOUP IN A MULTICOOKER

Prep all the ingredients. Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Peel and small-dice the potatoes. Wash, dry, and dice the bell pepper.

Lightly coat the multicooker bowl with vegetable oil, add the onion, sauté briefly on the "fry" or "sauté" mode, then add the garlic and carrots.

Cook the vegetables for 15 minutes.

Add the bell pepper and tomatoes, and sauté for another 10 minutes.

Pour in the water and add the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir well. Set the program to "soup" for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Add the pasta 30 minutes before the end of the cooking cycle.
