# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

Incorporate the sliced carrots, diced potato, and chopped celery into the pot. Stir to distribute the aromatics and sweat the vegetables for 3–4 minutes.

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the pot until silky and smooth. If using a regular blender, blend in batches with the lid vented, then return soup to the pot.
