Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 parsnips, peeled and diced
- 1 small rutabaga, peeled and diced
- 2 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 liter vegetable broth
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Мethod of preparation
Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Step 2: Add the diced carrots, parsnips, rutabaga, and potatoes to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the oil and onions. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Let it cook for about 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Step 4: Carefully transfer about half of the soup to a blender and blend until smooth. Return the blended soup to the pot and stir to combine. This will thicken the chowder, giving it a creamy texture while still retaining chunks of root vegetables.
Step 5: Add the heavy cream and fresh thyme to the pot, stirring to incorporate. Season the chowder with salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
Step 6: Serve the chowder hot, garnished with chopped parsley. Enjoy this comforting bowl of Nordic flavors!
