Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium carrots, diced (about 2 cups)
- 3 stalks celery, chopped (about 1.5 cups)
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent (about 3 minutes).
- Add diced carrots and chopped celery; cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until they soften slightly.
- Pour in vegetable broth to cover the veggies by about an inch. Bring to a gentle boil while stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes until all vegetables are tender enough to blend smoothly.
- Using an immersion blender or regular blender, puree the soup until creamy. For a chunkier texture, blend only half of it.
- Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper as needed before serving.
