Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 medium celery stalks, diced
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Add the carrots, celery, potatoes, and zucchini to the pot. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine the flavors.
Add the vegetable broth to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the vegetables simmer for 20 minutes or until they are tender.
Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender, puree, and return to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream and season the soup with salt and black pepper. Simmer for 2-3 more minutes until well combined and heated through.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
