Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 celery stalks, chopped
3 large carrots, sliced
4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
4 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions, garlic, and celery. Cook until onions are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in carrots and potatoes. Cook for another 3–4 minutes to blend flavors.
3. Add vegetable broth, just enough to cover vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20–25 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
4. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency. For a chunkier soup, blend only part of it.
5. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
Notes
For a thicker soup, simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes before blending.
Add a splash of cream or coconut milk at the end for extra richness.
