Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium golden beets, peeled and diced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons ground turmeric
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the golden beets, carrots, and sweet potatoes to the pot. Stir to coat the vegetables in butter.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the bay leaf, fresh thyme, and ground turmeric.
Season with salt and ground black pepper.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender.
Remove and discard the bay leaf.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. (Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender to puree.)
Stir in the heavy cream and let the soup warm through, about 2-3 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
