  • 2 medium carrots
  • 2 medium celery stalks
  • 2 medium potatoes
  • 1 medium parsnip
  • 1 medium sweet potato
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 0.75 cup milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.25 cup fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

  1. Wash 2 medium carrots, 2 medium celery stalks, 2 medium potatoes, 1 medium parsnip, and 1 medium sweet potato. Peel 1 medium onion, 2 medium carrots, 2 medium potatoes, 1 medium parsnip, and 1 medium sweet potato. Finely dice 1 medium onion. Cut 2 medium carrots, 2 medium celery stalks, 2 medium potatoes, 1 medium parsnip, and 1 medium sweet potato into 0.5-inch pieces. Peel and finely chop 2 cloves garlic.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the finely diced 1 medium onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft and translucent.
  3. Add the 0.5-inch pieces of 2 medium carrots, 2 medium celery stalks, 2 medium potatoes, 1 medium parsnip, and 1 medium sweet potato to the pot. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to slightly soften.
  4. Stir in the 2 cloves finely chopped garlic, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary. Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  5. Pour in 4 cups vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
  6. Stir in 0.75 cup milk and heat through for 2-3 minutes, but do not bring to a boil again. Season with 0.5 teaspoon salt and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Coarsely chop 0.25 cup fresh parsley leaves. Ladle the hot soup into serving bowls and garnish each bowl with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
