Ingredients

• 2 cups purple potatoes
• 2 cups golden potatoes
• 1 cup carrots
• 1 cup celery
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the golden and purple potatoes into small cubes. Set aside.

Step 2

Dice the carrots and celery into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the onion and garlic.

Step 3

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until they are translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the carrots and celery to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Stir in the potatoes, vegetable broth, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 7

Using a ladle, remove about 2 cups of the soup and blend it until smooth using a blender or immersion blender. Return the blended portion to the pot to create a creamy base while keeping chunks of vegetables.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
