Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk or cream For a richer flavor, use cream.
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • to taste Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the diced potatoes and pour in the broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
  3. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency. For a chunkier texture, blend just half of the soup.
  4. Stir in the milk or cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

For variations, consider using chicken broth, adding crushed garlic or thyme while sautéing, mixing in shredded cheese before serving, or using Greek yogurt instead of cream for a healthier option.
