Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 6 large, chopped celery stalks
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 3 medium, peeled and chopped russet potatoes
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 whole bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the chopped celery and cook for an additional 5 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Stir in the chopped potatoes, vegetable broth, bay leaf, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Remove the bay leaf and carefully blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth. Alternatively, blend in batches using a countertop blender.
Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
