Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Celery stalks, chopped
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 1 medium Potato, peeled and diced
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 4 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic, diced onion, and curry powder. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the chopped celery and diced potato. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle the turmeric over the mixture and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend carefully, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the low-fat milk, fresh parsley, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley or thyme if desired.
