• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 large onion (chopped)
• 3 carrot (and chopped)
• 3 celery sticks (chopped)
• 2 garlic cloves (sliced)
• 1 ½ teaspoons dried thyme

• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup whole milk
• Sour cream (for serving)

Steps

1. 1

   Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots, celery, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook the vegetables, until softened, 5-7 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the potatoes and the broth, and bring to a boil for about 5 minutes, then lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot and continue cooking until the potatoes are fork tender, 25-30 minutes.

3. 3

   Remove the pot from the heat, and stir in the milk.

4. 4

   Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until all the soup is smooth.
