Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 3 stalks of celery, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for a non-vegetarian option)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or a few sprigs of fresh thyme)
  • 1 potato, peeled and diced (optional, for a creamier texture)
  • 1 cup of spinach or kale (optional, for added nutrition)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin or coriander (optional, for a warm, earthy flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, to brighten the flavors)
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or dill for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables by peeling and chopping the carrots, chopping the celery, dicing the onion, and mincing the garlic.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until translucent, then add minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
  3. Add the chopped carrots and celery to the pot, stir, and cook for about 5 minutes. Then pour in the vegetable broth and add thyme, salt, and pepper.
  4. Once the vegetables are tender, blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or a regular blender in batches.
  5. Return the blended soup to the pot, adjust seasoning as needed, and serve garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh, organic vegetables for the best flavor.
  • Feel free to customize the soup with additional vegetables or spices.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
