Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 6 large celery stalks, chopped
• 2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes, or until translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 4

Add the chopped celery and apples to the pot, stirring to combine. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the celery starts to soften.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the celery and apples are tender.

Step 6

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes over low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy warm!
