Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 3 medium (peeled and diced) carrots
- 2 medium (peeled and diced) parsnips
- 1 medium (peeled and diced) celery root (celeriac)
- 2 medium (peeled and diced) potatoes
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 15 ounces (rinsed and drained) canned white beans (e.g., cannellini or navy beans)
- 4 sprigs fresh 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 or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the carrots, parsnips, celery root, and potatoes to the pot. Stir to coat the vegetables in the oil and cook for 5 minutes.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes and their juices. Cook for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the white beans, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf. Cover and simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until the root vegetables are tender.
Remove and discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaf from the pot.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
Serve the soup hot and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
