- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large (diced) yellow onion
- 3 medium (peeled and diced) carrots
- 3 medium (peeled and diced) parsnips
- 1 medium (peeled and cubed) sweet potato
- 1 medium (peeled and cubed) russet potato
- 2 (chopped) celery stalks
- 4 (minced) garlic cloves
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme

- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until translucent.
Stir in the carrots, parsnips, celery, sweet potato, and russet potato. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the vegetable broth and stir in the thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the bay leaf from the pot.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup partially if you prefer a thicker texture, or leave it chunky for a rustic feel.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
