Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
- 3 medium carrots (peeled and chopped)
- 2 stalks celery (chopped)
- 3 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes and vegetable broth to the pot. Increase the heat to bring the soup to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until all the vegetables are tender.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, let the soup cool slightly and blend it in batches in a countertop blender.
Return the pureed soup to the pot, if necessary, and stir in the heavy cream. Warm the soup over low heat but do not let it boil.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy warm with crusty bread or crackers.
