Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 medium celery stalks, diced
- 1 large potato, peeled and diced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Add the diced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced carrots, celery, potato, and broccoli to the pot. Stir to combine and let the vegetables cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer the soup in batches to a blender to blend.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Return the pot to low heat and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
