Take note
Handle hot ingredients with care and be cautious when blending hot liquids.

1

Gather your veggies

Peel and chop 2 carrots, 2 parsnips, and 1 sweet potato. Dice a small onion and mince 2 cloves of garlic.

2

Sauté the aromatics

Heat some olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion turns translucent and the garlic becomes fragrant.

3

Add the root veggies

Throw in the chopped carrots, parsnips, and sweet potato. Stir them around for a few minutes to get them nicely coated in the aromatics.

4

Simmer time

Pour in enough vegetable broth to cover the veggies. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the veggies are tender.

5

Blend it baby!

Using a blender or immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a traditional blender, work in batches and vent the lid to release steam.

6

Add creaminess

Return the blended soup to the pot over low heat. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream or coconut cream for a vegan option. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
