Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Celery stalks
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 medium Russet potato
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 cups Vegetable stock
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 4 slices Crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Wash and chop the celery stalks into 1-inch pieces. Peel and dice the onion, garlic, and russet potato into small chunks.
In a large soup pot, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened but not browned.
Add the chopped celery and potato to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the butter and oil mixture.
Sprinkle in the fresh thyme, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to bloom.
Pour in the vegetable stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender.
Using an immersion blender, purée the soup in the pot until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth, then return the soup to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream and let the soup simmer gently for another 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
Ladle the soup into serving bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve with crusty bread on the side, if desired.
