Ingredients:
2 tablespoons of olive oil.
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into slices
Chop 2 celery stalks.
Peel and dice 1 medium turnip.
1 small cauliflower, cut into florets.
1 teaspoon dried thyme.
1 teaspoon dried rosemary.
6 cups vegetable stock,
1 bay leaf.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Preparation
In a large saucepan and with the vegetables sautéing in olive oil until tender and fragrant. This is a process that prepares them for the main act of cooking, which will be over low heat. As they soften, the cooking gives us a comforting aroma. Because it promises culinary bliss in every spoonful.
With the addition of vegetable broth and a bay leaf, the soup is transformed into an aromatic and simmering elixir until the vegetables yield to the touch. The broth becomes a canvas and gives us the natural sweetness of the vegetables, enriched by the earthy nuances of the herbs.
At this point, a choice must be made: to mix or not to mix. Those looking for a rustic charm and can opt to leave the soup in chunks, and each spoonful will be a mosaic of healthy textures. For a silkier experience, you can also use an immersion blender or countertop appliance to transform the soup into a velvety symphony of flavors.
Before serving, a final touch of seasoning - salt, pepper, perhaps a pinch more thyme - and a sprinkling of freshly chopped parsley give the dish a touch of freshness. Each spoonful becomes a journey through layers of flavor, a celebration of the nourishing power of seasonal produce.
