A smooth blend of potatoes and carrots for a comforting, wholesome bowl bursting with natural flavors.

# Required Ingredients:

→ Vegetables

01 - 500 g potatoes, peeled and diced
02 - 300 g carrots, peeled and sliced
03 - 150 g onion, chopped
04 - 3 cloves garlic, minced

→ Liquids

05 - 1 litre vegetable broth

→ Fats

06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

→ Seasonings

07 - Salt, to taste
08 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Garnish (optional)

09 - Fresh parsley, chopped

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
02 - Incorporate diced potatoes and sliced carrots into the pot, stirring well to coat with the aromatic base.
03 - Pour in vegetable broth until vegetables are just covered. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 to 25 minutes until tender.
04 - Using an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, blend in batches using a countertop blender.
05 - Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Optionally, add a swirl of cream or croutons.

# Handy Cooking Tips:

01 - Peeling the vegetables results in a creamier texture, but leaving skins on enhances fiber content.
