Ingredients
4 large carrots, peeled and chopped
2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
1/3 cup heavy cream or coconut milk (optional, for creaminess)
Instructions
1. Peel and chop carrots and potatoes into even-sized pieces.
2. Dice onion and mince garlic.
3. In a large pot, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
4. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
5. Add chopped carrots and potatoes to the pot. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Pour in vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
7. Use an immersion blender or transfer soup in batches to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
8. Stir in cream or coconut milk if using, and adjust seasoning to taste.
9. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
For a vegan soup, use olive oil and coconut milk instead of butter and cream.
Add more broth if you prefer a thinner consistency, or simmer longer for a thicker soup.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
