Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium Carrots, diced
- 2 Celery stalks, diced
- 2 medium Potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium Zucchini, diced
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the diced carrots, celery, potatoes, and zucchini to the pot. Stir well to combine with the onion and garlic.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the bay leaf, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the bay leaf and discard.
Transfer the soup to a blender in batches, or use an immersion blender directly in the pot, and blend until smooth and creamy. Be cautious of hot steam during blending.
Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in the coconut milk.
Heat the soup gently over low heat until warmed through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
