Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 6 large celery stalks, chopped
- 2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes, or until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the chopped celery and apples to the pot, stirring to combine. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the celery starts to soften.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the celery and apples are tender.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes over low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy warm!
