Ingredients

• 2 medium Carrots
• 2 medium Potatoes
• 2 Celery stalks
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cups Vegetable stock
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the carrots, potatoes, and zucchini into evenly sized chunks. Slice the celery stalks, mince the garlic cloves, and chop the yellow onion.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and celery, sautéing until they soften and become fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the diced carrots, potatoes, and zucchini to the pot. Sauté the vegetables for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Pour in the vegetable stock and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, covering the pot with a lid. Let it simmer for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 5

Using an immersion blender (or standard blender in batches), puree the soup until it’s completely smooth and creamy. Take care to avoid splattering if blending while the soup is hot.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes over low heat without bringing it to a boil.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the soup is too thick, you can add more vegetable stock to reach your desired consistency.

Step 8

Ladle the vegetable cream soup into bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy!
