Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
- 6 stalks (chopped) celery
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 medium (peeled and diced) Russet potato
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the diced yellow onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Step 3
Add the chopped celery and minced garlic. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the diced Russet potato. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the celery and potato are tender.
Step 6
Use an immersion blender to carefully puree the soup until it’s smooth. (Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.)

Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Step 8
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Step 9
Serve warm with crusty bread or crackers if desired.
