Ingredients
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
1
Sauté the Vegetables: Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the carrots, celery, potatoes, and zucchini (optional). Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2
Simmer the Soup: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft.
3
Blend to Perfection: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender, then return it to the pot.
4
Add the Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Heat gently for another 5 minutes, but do not boil.
5
Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm with your favorite bread. I served ham and cheese grilled sandwiches on the side.
