Light and Delicious Carrot and Celery Soup
First off, we need to feast our eyes on this beautiful bowl of goodness!
Now, let’s talk about what you’ll need to bring this fantastic soup to life.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of chopped carrots (about 6 medium-sized)
- 2 cups of chopped celery (about 4 stalks)
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 cups of vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- First, heat that olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in your diced onion and sauté it until it’s soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. We want those flavors to start dancing!
- Next, add in your minced garlic and let it mingle with the onions for another minute. Trust me, it’s gonna smell heavenly!
- Now, it’s time to throw in those chopped carrots and celery. Stir everything up and let them cook for about 5 minutes, allowing all those flavors to blend together.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, add the ground cumin, and season with salt and pepper. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, until the veggies are nice and tender.
- Once done, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until it’s creamy and smooth. If you don’t have one, you can carefully transfer it in batches to a regular blender.
- Serve it hot, and for that finishing touch, sprinkle some fresh parsley on top. This soup is perfect as is or pair it with some crusty bread for a complete meal!
And there you have it! A simple, tasty, and healthy carrot and celery soup that’s sure to warm your soul. Enjoy it solo or share it with your loved ones. Either way, you ain’t gonna regret it!
