Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large kettle over medium heat, heat the oil and butter. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until it is softened, about 2 minutes. Add the celery, carrots, potatoes and red bell peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, cayenne, ginger, mace and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the vegetables are very tender, about ½ hour. Stir in the basil and serve.
