Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large, diced yellow onion
- 3 medium, peeled and chopped carrots
- 2 medium, chopped celery stalks
- 1 medium, peeled and diced potato
- 1 medium, chopped zucchini
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, chopped carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, and coriander, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
Add the potato, zucchini, and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender, blending until creamy.
Stir in the heavy cream, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Simmer the soup for an additional 5 minutes to heat through, but do not let it boil.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
