Servings: 6

Ingredients

Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
Onion (1, diced)
Carrots (2, chopped)
Celery (2 stalks, chopped)
Potatoes (2, diced)
Turnips (1, diced)
Leek (1, sliced)
Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
Vegetable broth (6 cups)
Thyme (1 teaspoon, dried)
Bay leaf (1)
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, chopped carrots, chopped celery, diced potatoes, diced turnip, sliced leek, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Sprinkle in the dried thyme, add the bay leaf, and pour in the vegetable broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. Cover and let it cook for about 30 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.
Remove the bay leaf and discard it.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until creamy.
Return the pureed soup to the pot and heat over low until warmed through.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
