Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups purple potatoes
- 2 cups golden potatoes
- 1 cup carrots
- 1 cup celery
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and dice the golden and purple potatoes into small cubes. Set aside.
Dice the carrots and celery into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the onion and garlic.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until they are translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Add the carrots and celery to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the potatoes, vegetable broth, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Using a ladle, remove about 2 cups of the soup and blend it until smooth using a blender or immersion blender. Return the blended portion to the pot to create a creamy base while keeping chunks of vegetables.
Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
