Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 parsnips, peeled and diced
  • 1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 russet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 turnip, peeled and diced (optional)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for added richness)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk or cream (optional, for creaminess)
  • Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.

  2. Add Vegetables: Add the carrots, parsnips, sweet potato, russet potato, and turnip to the pot. Stir to coat the vegetables in the oil.

  3. Season and Simmer: Sprinkle in the thyme, cumin, salt, and pepper. Pour in the vegetable broth and water, ensuring the vegetables are fully submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 25–30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

  4. Blend or Leave Chunky: For a smooth soup, use an immersion blender or transfer to a blender to purée until creamy. Alternatively, leave the soup chunky for a rustic texture. If using, stir in coconut milk or cream at this stage.

  5. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or chives. Serve warm with whole-grain bread or crackers.

This Healthy Root Vegetable Soup is a bowl of comfort that’s as nutritious as it is delicious. Whether puréed into a creamy consistency or enjoyed chunky, it’s a versatile and satisfying dish that’s perfect for any time of the year.

Optional Additions:

  • Herb Boost: Add a bay leaf while simmering or finish with a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
  • Protein Kick: Stir in cooked lentils or chickpeas for added protein.
  • Spicy Twist: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne for a touch of heat.
