Equipment

  • Large pot, blender or immersion blender

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 3 cups diced potatoes
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • null Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Add the vegetable broth, rosemary, thyme, and potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
