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!
