Method
 

How to Make Cream of Vegetable Soup
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Gradually add the vegetable broth to the pot, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir well and let it blend for about 10 minutes.
  4. Add your assorted vegetables and continue to simmer until tender, approximately 8-10 minutes.
  5. Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a little texture, pulse it just a few times.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it heat through, ensuring it’s warmed but not boiling.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with chopped fresh herbs, croutons, or grated cheese for added flavor and garnish.
