For a richer flavor, consider using homemade vegetable broth. Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as potatoes, parsnips, or leeks. If you prefer a chunkier soup, you can reserve some of the cooked vegetables before blending and add them back in afterward. A swirl of cream or a dollop of yogurt can add a touch of richness to the finished soup. The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for longer storage.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
7 mins
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. (2 minutes)
02
Step
1 mins
Add the diced onions, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent and softened, about 5-7 minutes.
03
Step
2 mins
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
04
Step
1 hrs
Pour in the vegetable broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any flavorful browned bits. Bring the mixture to a boil.
05
Step
10 mins
Stir in the dried sage, salt, and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen. Stir occasionally.
06
StepOnce the soup has simmered, carefully transfer it in batches to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Secure the lid tightly and blend until smooth. Alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the pot to puree the soup until desired consistency is achieved.
07
StepPour the pureed soup into your serving bowls and garnish as desired. Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping.
