Sauté Vegetables

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until the onion is translucent and garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Add Broth and Potatoes

Add the beef or vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then add the diced potatoes, bay leaf, and dried marjoram. Reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.

Season

Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf.

Prepare Bread

While the soup is simmering, heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bread cubes and toast until golden brown and crispy.

Serve

Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the toasted bread cubes. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh parsley.
