Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 6 cups water
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables
- 1 large russet potato (about 10 oz), peeled and cubed
- 1 medium sweet potato (about 12 oz), peeled and cubed
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 small parsnip (about 5 oz), peeled and chopped
- 1 small celeriac (about 1.2 lbs), peeled and chopped (around 2 heaping cups)
Finish & Garnish
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (plus more for garnish, optional)
- Chopped parsley
- Extra curry powder (for garnish)
- Black pepper (for garnish)
- Warm crusty bread (for serving)
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking for about 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Add Vegetables & Spices: Stir in all the chopped root vegetables along with the curry powder and dried thyme. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently to evenly coat the vegetables and develop flavor.
- Simmer: Pour in the water, then add kosher salt and black pepper. Increase heat to bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-high heat. Let the soup simmer uncovered for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Blend: Stir in the heavy cream and let the soup simmer for an additional minute. Remove the pot from heat and blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and purée until creamy.
- Adjust & Serve: If needed, thin the soup with a little more water to reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or cream as preferred. Serve the soup hot, garnished with a swirl of cream, chopped parsley, and a sprinkle of extra curry powder. Accompany with warm crusty bread for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- For a richer soup, add more heavy cream or a dollop of crème fraîche before serving.
- The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove.
- Use an immersion blender for easier and safer blending directly in the pot.
- Optional: Add cooked shredded beef or chicken for a meaty variation.
- Adjust curry powder amount to your spice preference.
