Base Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • 1 medium-sized onion diced (any colour is fine)
  • 1 clove garlic minced or grated
  • 1 stick celery chopped
  • 1 lb carrots peeled and diced
  • 1 lb potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herbs
  • 0.25 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 0.25 teaspoon dried parsley optional
  • 0.125 teaspoon black pepper plus more to serve
  • 0.5 teaspoon fine salt plus more to taste
  • 2.5 cups low-sodium vegetable broth about 600ml
  • 2-3 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

Cooking Steps

  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, a pinch of salt and pepper, and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent. Add the garlic, and cook for an extra minute until fragrant.
  • Add carrots, potatoes, celery, herbs, salt and pepper to the pot. Give a good stir and cook for about 2-3 minutes to enhance their flavor.
  • Stir in the broth, bring to the boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover with a lid and cook for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • Turn the heat off, and let it cool slightly.
  • Transfer approximately 1 cup of the soup to a stand blender and whizz just until smooth. Be careful because it's still hot, and make sure you don't over blend.
  • Return the blended soup to the soup, toss well to combine and taste to adjust the seasoning to your taste.
  • Serve with freshly ground black pepper, extra parsley, and crusty bread.

Notes

1 pound of carrots is about 5 medium-sized carrots, while 1 pound of potatoes is about 2 medium-sized potatoes (or 5 small-sized potatoes). Start with ½ of salt and then adjust the seasoning at the end based on the broth used.
