Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the carrots, celery, potato, zucchini, and broccoli to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
  4. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree until smooth.

  6. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Roasting Vegetables: Roasting some of the vegetables before adding them to the soup can enhance their flavors.
  • Vegetable Variations: Feel free to add other vegetables you love, like bell peppers, spinach, or peas. This soup is versatile!
  • Cream Alternatives: For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk. Coconut milk can also be used as a dairy-free option.
  • Herbs and Spices: Fresh herbs like thyme, parsley, or dill can add a wonderful aroma. A pinch of nutmeg can also add depth to the flavour.
  • Make-Ahead: This soup can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
  • Freezing: The soup freezes well. Just make sure to cool it completely before transferring to an airtight container. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
