Ingredients

• 3 medium potatoes
• 3 medium carrots
• 2 medium parsnips
• 1 medium onion
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 5 cups vegetable stock
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cups heavy cream (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes, carrots, and parsnips. Dice them into small chunks.

Step 2

Chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 5

Add the diced potatoes, carrots, and parsnips to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the oil.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

Remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, blend the soup in batches using a countertop blender, then return it to the pot.

Step 8

Stir in the salt, black pepper, and heavy cream (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.

Step 9

Reheat the soup gently over low heat if needed, but avoid boiling.

Step 10

Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
