Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 onion diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 stalks celery or 1/2 small celery root diced
- 2 medium carrots diced
- 2 pounds (900 g) potatoes chopped
- ½ tsp dried marjoram
- 1 Pinch of nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups (1000 ml) vegetable broth or water
- 2 whole bay leaves (optional)
- ⅓ cup (80 g) dairy-free cream
- Fresh parsley to garnish
- Vegan sausage sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent.
- Stir in the diced celery (or celery root) and carrots, cooking for another 5 minutes until softened.
- Add the chopped potatoes, dried marjoram, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to the pot, mixing well.
