Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 Yellow onion, diced
• 2 Carrot, diced
• 2 Celery stalks, diced
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Russet potato, peeled and chopped
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped potato and broccoli florets to the pot, then pour in the vegetable broth.

Step 5

Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 6

Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until creamy, then return it to the pot.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and ground black pepper. Allow the soup to heat through for 2-3 minutes, but do not bring it to a boil.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot.
