Ingredients
Soup Base
- 2 tbsp butter unsalted
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups potatoes peeled and diced
- 2 cups carrots peeled and sliced
- 4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
Finishing Touches
- 1 cup milk or cream for extra creaminess
- 1/2 tsp salt adjust to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
- Add diced potatoes, sliced carrots, and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Remove the pot from heat and carefully blend the soup using an immersion blender or a regular blender until smooth and creamy.
- Return the soup to the pot and stir in milk or cream. Season with salt and pepper. Heat gently without boiling.
- Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
Notes
For a vegan version, use olive oil instead of butter and substitute dairy-free milk or coconut milk for cream. This soup also freezes well, store in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
