Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic chopped
  • 1 large Yellow Onion chopped
  • ½ teaspoon Celery Seed
  • ½ teaspoon white pepper
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • 4 large Celery Stalks chopped
  • 4 large Carrots peeled and chopped
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • fresh dill for serving
  • celery leaves for serving
  • freshly cracked black pepper for servingcx

Instructions

  • Heat a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, translucent, and lightly browned.
  • Stir in the carrots, celery, celery seed, white pepper, and nutmeg. Cook for another 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots begin to soften and develop a little color.
  • Pour in the vegetable broth and lemon juice, then season with salt. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 20–25 minutes, or until the carrots and celery are completely tender.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree the carrot and celery soup directly in the pot until smooth and silky. This can take about 4–5 minutes. Use caution when blending hot soup, as it can splatter.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and finish with freshly cracked black pepper, fresh dill, and the reserved celery leaves. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

If you don't have an immersion blender, transfer the cooked soup to a stand blender and blend until smooth and silky, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful of hot liquid spraying out.
