Description
A deliciously delicate and simple soup with sliced carrot and celery in a clear broth. Perfect for a light meal to warm you up.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 sticks celery, finely diced
- 5 medium (280 g / 10 oz) carrots, halved lengthwise and finely sliced
- 4 cups (960 ml) vegetable stock
Instructions
1. In a large stockpot, heat olive oil on medium heat.
2. Add the onions and sauté for 5 minutes until soft.
3. Add the garlic and sauté for 2 more minutes on low heat.
4. Add the carrot and celery, and fry on medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
5. Add vegetable stock, bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
6. Optional: Add finely chopped celery greens or parsley before serving.
Notes
TIP: Cut the carrot and celery into even-sized pieces so that they all cook tender at the same time.
Because this is such a simple soup, we recommend using a flavourful stock and good-tasting veggies for best results.
