Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
- 6 stalks (chopped) celery
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 medium (peeled and diced) Russet potato
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced yellow onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the chopped celery and minced garlic. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the diced Russet potato. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the celery and potato are tender.
Use an immersion blender to carefully puree the soup until it’s smooth. (Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.)
Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve warm with crusty bread or crackers if desired.
