Description
A hearty vegetable soup featuring stellini pasta, perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 6 cloves garlic (minced)
- 8 cups vegetable broth
- 4 medium carrots
- 4 ribs celery
- ½ to 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 2 cups stellini pasta
- 1 lemon (juice and zest)
- To serve: fresh grated parmesan, ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil. Add 1 medium yellow onion (diced) and 6 cloves garlic (minced), cooking until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add in 8 cups vegetable broth, 4 medium carrots, and 4 ribs celery. Cover and let gently simmer for about 20 minutes, or until carrots are fork-tender.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer all of the solids into a countertop blender. Add a splash of the broth to help get things blending. Blend on high until smooth. Never tightly close the lid when blending hot mixtures, as this can cause steam to become trapped and build pressure. Leave the lid slightly ajar. Alternatively, use a handheld immersion blender to blend everything right in the pot.
- Pour blended mixture back into the pot. Stir in ½ to 1 tsp salt (taste the mixture and use salt to your liking), ½ tsp ground black pepper, and 2 cups stellini pasta. Let gently simmer for the time listed on the package or until pasta is tender, about 10 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent pasta from clumping or sticking to the bottom.
- Right before serving, stir in the zest and juice from 1 lemon. Top with fresh grated parmesan and ground black pepper. Enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust salt based on the saltiness of your vegetable broth.
- This soup can be blended to a smooth texture or left chunky, depending on preference.
