Ingredients
  

  • 4 large carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for a non-vegetarian version)
  • 1 cup milk (use plant-based milk for a dairy-free option)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Large Pot or Dutch Oven
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Blender
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Ladle

Method
 

  1. Heat the pot: Start by heating the olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Cook the vegetables: Add the chopped onions and garlic to the pot and sauté for about 3-5 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
  3. Add the carrots and potatoes: Toss the chopped carrots and potatoes into the pot, stirring to combine them with the onions and garlic.
  4. Add the broth: Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, ensuring that the vegetables are fully submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots and potatoes are tender.
  6. Blend the soup: If you prefer a creamy, smooth texture, use a blender or immersion blender to purée the soup. For a chunkier soup, you can leave it as is.
  7. Add the milk: Stir in the milk, and then season with salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika (if using).
  8. Simmer again: Allow the soup to simmer for another 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
  9. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
