Ingredients
Scale
4 large carrots, peeled and chopped
3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup water
1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut milk (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
Fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
Optional: A dash of nutmeg or smoked paprika
Instructions
Heat olive oil or butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté for 3–4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Toss in the chopped carrots and potatoes. Stir to coat them in the onion-garlic mixture and let them sauté for about 5 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and let simmer for 20–25 minutes until vegetables are tender.
Remove from heat and blend the soup using an immersion blender or countertop blender (in batches if needed) until smooth. Add water to thin if desired.
Return soup to the pot if needed, and stir in the cream or coconut milk. Add salt, pepper, and optional spices. Simmer another 3–5 minutes.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped herbs and a swirl of cream or yogurt.
