Author: Amanda - Life at Cloverhill
Recipe type: Soup
Serves: 8
- 4 tbsp. butter
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 3 large carrots, chopped
- 2 medium potatoes, chopped
- 900 ml carton of chicken broth
- 2 cups of milk
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- salt & pepper to taste
- Chop the carrots, onions and celery into similar size pieces.
- In a large saucepan on medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the onion, celery and carrots. Crush the garlic right into the pot. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Add the potatoes and thyme and give it a stir. I used the leaves off of a couple of sprigs of fresh thyme, but dried thyme works well too.
- Add the chicken broth, stir and then let it simmer for 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
- Puree until smooth with a large food processor or use a hand blender right in the pot.
- Add the milk, and then season with salt and pepper.
- Give it a stir and then heat it up again for serving.
