Equipment

  • immersion blender

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 200 g carrots sliced into about 5 mm pieces
  • 900 ml vegetable broth or water
  • 400 g red potatoes cubed
  • 350 g cauliflower florets fresh or frozen
  • 1 tbsp salt or to taste
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ - 1 tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp dried sage
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 250 g green peas fresh or frozen

Instructions
 

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot; when it's hot, add the diced onion and minced garlic and sauté over medium heat for about 2 minutes; stir continuously to avoid burning;
  • Add carrots and and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until they become soft;
  • Pour in the vegetable broth and add potatoes and cauliflower; cover with a lid and bring to a boil;
  • When it starts boiling, add salt, pepper, and dried herbs then let it simmer over medium to low heat;
  • After 6-7 minutes of simmering, take out of the pot about ⅔ of the veggies; set aside and let the soup with the remained ⅓ of the veggies simmer for another 3-4 minutes;
  • When the vegetables are cooked, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth; take the bay leaves out before blending;
  • Bring in the rest of the cooked vegetables together with the green peas and simmer for 1-2 minutes.

Notes

  1. If you don't want to use oil to sauté onion and garlic, use 100 ml water; add a little more when you bring in the carrots.
  2. I  blended only  1/3 of the veggies to get a creamy but still liquid soup.
