Cooking Instructions:
Cook onion, carrot and celery in 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat for about 3 min or until onions are translucent. Stir in 3 tbsp of flour, seasonings, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add all potatoes, red pepper, white wine and broth. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
