How to Make Winter Vegetable Soup
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 cup of sliced leeks. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add 1 cup chopped carrots, 1 cup chopped celery, 1 cup chopped potatoes, 1 cup chopped butternut squash, 4 cups vegetable broth, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and puree until smooth. If using a blender, vent the lid to prevent pressure buildup.
- Return the pureed soup to the pot. Stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional) and heat through. Do not boil.
- Serve hot, garnished with a dollop of cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy with our cheesy chive muffins (recipe #73071) for a truly delightful meal!
