Description

Potatoes, celery root, and chicken stock are puréed with broccoli to give this quick and easy soup a creamy texture without using dairy.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
3 large cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
3 broccoli stalks, coarsely chopped
2 broccoli florets and stalks, coarsely chopped
2 large potatoes, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/3 celery root, coarsely chopped
4 cups low-sodium chicken stock

Directions

1 Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Add broccoli stalks, potatoes, broccoli florets, and celery root; toss until coated in oil. Cover vegetables with chicken stock; bring to a boil.
2 Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are easily pierced with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove soup from heat.
3 Fill a blender no more than halfway with liquid and vegetables. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before increasing blender to maximum speed. Puree until soup is light green and creamy, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat with remaining soup, working in batches.
