Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

    • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

    • 1 large onion, chopped

    • 3 garlic cloves, chopped

    • 1 tablespoon curry powder

    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

    • 6 cups water

    • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

    • 1/2 cup heavy cream (plus more for garnish, optional)

Root Vegetables:

      • 1 large russet potato (about 10 oz), peeled and cubed

      • 1 medium sweet potato (about 12 oz), peeled and cubed

      • 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped

      • 1 small parsnip (about 5 oz), peeled and chopped

      • 1 small celeriac (about 1.2 lbs), peeled and chopped (around 2 heaping cups)

Optional Garnishes:

    • Chopped parsley

    • Extra curry powder

    • Black pepper

    • Warm crusty bread


Instructions

  • Sauté Aromatics: Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, cooking for about 2 minutes until softened.

  • Add Vegetables & Spices: Stir in all chopped root vegetables along with the curry powder and thyme. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring often.

  • Simmer: Pour in the water, then add salt and black pepper. Increase heat to bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-high. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes or until all vegetables are tender.

  • Blend: Stir in the cream and simmer for 1 additional minute. Remove from heat and blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender (or carefully blend in batches using a countertop blender).

  • Adjust & Serve: Thin with a bit more water if needed. Adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or cream to taste. Serve hot, garnished with cream, parsley, and a dash of curry powder if desired.
