Ingredients

• 3 large carrots peeled
• 1 sweet potato peeled
• 2 red potatoes peeled
• 5 stalks celery hearts
• ½ yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ tablespoon sea salt
• 2 -2½ cups vegetable broth
• Avocado for garnish

Instructions

• Chop carrots , sweet potato ,red potatoes ,celery, and onion in bite sizes
• Mince garlic
• Grate fresh ginger
• In large saute pan or pot place vegetables and oil and saute for 10 minutes on medium heat
• Add the 2 cups of vegetable broth and salt, bring to a simmering boil and reduce heat to medium low
• Simmer till vegetables are tender about 15 minutes
• Let cool about 15-20 minutes before processing as it can be dangerous to blend hot liquids! I found out the hard way when I was blending a squash soup once,ouch!
• Process in blender or food processor till creamy, add extra vegetable broth for desired consistency
• Depending on vegetables water content. I almost always add another ½ cup in the winter months when veggies are not as fresh.
• You can leave it as my girls call it "baby food" consistency like in my pictures and garnish with avocado, salt and pepper to taste. I love it a bit thicker because it feels a little more substantial for a main course, and is very filling too!
