I adapted this from a vegetarian soup while my twin toddlers were going through a soup-only phase. They love it. Luckily the rest of the family enjoys it too! It's a nice hearty puree, super-easy to put together, especially if you roast the potatoes and beets beforehand.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups diced potatoes

  • 2 cups diced peeled beets

  • olive oil, divided

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 stalk celery, diced

  • 1 onion, diced

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 1 ½ cups whole milk

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place the potatoes and beets into a baking dish, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and black pepper.

  2. Roast in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour; allow to cool.

  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat, and stir in the celery, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in the cooked vegetables, chicken broth, thyme, and bay leaf, bring to a boil, and reduce heat. Simmer until the celery is very tender, about 45 minutes.

  4. Remove from heat, and discard the bay leaf. Puree the mixture in the pot with an immersion blender until very well blended; stir in the milk and lemon juice to serve.

Recipe Tip

This also works with buttermilk in place of whole milk, or you could substitute skim if you wanted to cut the fat.
