Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, celery, broccoli florets)
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk for a dairy-free option
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or basil
- Fresh parsley or chives for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by heating olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, then sauté until translucent and fragrant.
- Introduce the carrots, celery, and potatoes, cooking for about 5 minutes to soften slightly.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Once the vegetables are cooked, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. For chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.
- Add the heavy cream (or coconut milk), stirring well to combine. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs.
- Allow the soup to heat through for a few more minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives and serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider adding cooked beans, kale, or spinach.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite vegetables or spice levels.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat on the stove or microwave until steaming hot, and add fresh herbs or a splash of cream for extra richness when serving.
