Main Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp olive oil Golden, silky olive oil serves as the perfect base.
  • 1 piece onion (finely diced) Aromatic and sweet onion forms the foundation.
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced) Adds a robust and savory element.
  • 3 sticks celery (finely diced) Crisp and refreshing for a pleasant crunch.
  • 5 medium carrots (halved lengthwise and finely sliced) Sweet and vibrant, adds color and nutrition.
  • 4 cups vegetable stock The soul of the soup, binding all ingredients.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large stockpot, heat the olive oil on medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the diced onions and sauté for 5 minutes until soft, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 2 more minutes on low heat, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Incorporate the finely diced carrot and celery, frying on medium-high heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Add in the vegetable stock, bringing the mixture to a simmer, and let it cook for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
  6. Optional: Sprinkle in finely chopped celery greens or parsley before serving for added flavor.

Notes

For an even creamier texture, blend the soup with an immersion blender or transfer it to a standard blender. Adding a splash of lemon juice before serving can help brighten flavors. For heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes during sautéing.
