• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add the sliced carrots and diced potato to the pot. Stir to coat the vegetables with the onion and garlic mixture.

Once the vegetables are tender, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender to puree.

Step 9

Return the pureed soup to the pot. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and heavy cream.
