Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent and the carrots have begun to soften, about 7–8 minutes.

Add the red bell pepper and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and the pepper has softened slightly, about 2 minutes. Watch the garlic closely so it does not brown.
