Ingredients
- 1 lb vegetable marrow, chopped (see Note 1)
- 1 onion, roughly chopped
- 2 ribs celery, roughly chopped
- 1 carrot, roughly chopped
- 4 tbsp butter of your choice (= half a stick; I like Earth Balance)
- 3 tbsp flour
- 3 cups vegetable stock or water
- salt and pepper (to taste; see Note 2)
- ½ cup vegan cream or canned coconut milk (*optional)
Instructions
- Melt butter in a stockpot on medium-high heat. Sauté the onion, celery, carrot until aromatic.
- Sprinkle in the flour and stir it around to coat all the vegetables evenly.
- Pour in the vegetable stock and add the chopped vegetable marrow. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and bring to a boil.
- Once bubbling, turn the heat down to medium-low and gently simmer for 25 minutes.
- Blend the soup into a smooth purée. Stir in cream before serving.
Notes
- Vegetable Marrow: Can substitute with zucchini or spaghetti squash.
- Salt & Pepper: I used 1 tsp salt (6g) and 1/2 tsp ground black pepper together with low-sodium vegetable stock. If your vegetable stock has lots of salt, or if using a concentrated bouillon like Better than Bouillon, reduce the salt.
