Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium-sized yellow onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 4 large carrots
• 3 medium-sized potatoes
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup milk or cream
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the onion, carrots, and potatoes into small chunks.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh parsley.

Step 3

In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Add the chopped carrots and potatoes to the pot, stirring to coat them in the butter and onion mixture.

Step 7

Sprinkle in the thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper, and stir to combine.

Step 8

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the bay leaf into the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 9

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots and potatoes are tender.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can blend the soup in batches using a countertop blender.

Step 11

Return the pureed soup to low heat and stir in the milk or cream. Heat gently without boiling.

Step 12

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 13

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
