INGREDIENTS

  • 4 celery stalks chopped
  • 1 large onion
  • 3 carrots
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 tbsps olive oil
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken stock
  • 1 cup milk or half and half optional
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 leek chopped
  • 3 tbsps fresh parsley chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

  • In a large pot, melt the butter and oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add some salt and pepper to the pot along with the chopped celery, onion, and carrots. Cook for about 15 minutes or until softened.
  • Add the garlic powder and stir. Continue cooking for one or two more minutes.
  • Bring to a boil after adding the stock.
  • After 15 minutes, turn off the heat and let the mixture simmer.
  • Pour in the half and half or milk and whisk to mix after allowing it cool.
  • Use an immersion blender or a stand blender to carefully blend the soup.
  • Add the fresh parsley and chili powder, and leeks on top after seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

NOTES

  • To ensure that the vegetables cook fast and soften, chop them into little pieces.
  • An immersion blender is the quickest and most straightforward method for blending the soup in the pot. Alternatively, you can spoon it into a stand-alone blender, but be careful—it will be boiling.
  • Let the soup cool completely before storing if making ahead.
  • If you're using dried herbs rather than fresh ones, add them to the pot when the vegetables are, not at the end.
