Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cups celery, sliced (about 4-5 stalks)
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter option)
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • as needed Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) Optional, for presentation

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent (about 5 minutes).
  2. Stir in the sliced celery and diced potatoes. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the veggies to develop flavors.
  3. Add the broth, bring everything to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let it bubble away for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  4. Blend the soup until it’s creamy and smooth using an immersion blender, or carefully transfer it to a regular blender and pulse.
  5. Return the blended soup to the pot, stir in the cream, and season with salt and pepper. Allow it to heat through.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls, sprinkle some fresh parsley on top, and serve.

Notes

Make it ahead for meal prep! Store in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for future cozy nights. You can swap ingredients like rutabagas or leftover veggies as needed.
