Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 cups celery stalks (chopped)
- 1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 medium russet potatoes (peeled and chopped)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped celery and onion to the pot, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped potatoes, vegetable broth, water, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the lemon juice to brighten the flavors, and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve warm.
