In a large soup pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat and sauté the onion, carrots and peppers for 5 minutes until softening, then add the garlic and oregano and sauté for one minute.
Add the potatoes, tomatoes, broth and water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and stir in the quinoa. Cook the soup for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the corn and zucchini and simmer another 5 to 10 minutes until everything is tender and the quinoa is translucent.
Season with salt and black pepper and stir in the cilantro before serving.
