Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons butter 30g
  • 1 medium onion chopped (120g)
  • 3-4 cloves garlic minced (12g)
  • 2 medium potatoes peeled and diced (300g)
  • 1 large carrot peeled and grated (120g)
  • 1 celery stalk chopped (60g)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme 2g
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt 2g
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1g
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 60g
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth 475ml
  • 1 cup milk or cream 240ml
  • 2 cups water 475ml
  • Fresh parsley or chives chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In the large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion, garlic, potatoes, carrot, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Add the thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Gradually add the broth, milk, and water, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or leave it chunky, depending on your preference.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  • Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley or chives if desired.
