This Irish Farmhouse Vegetable Soup is creamy and delicious, and it’s filled with hearty, healthy veggies.
It’s made with lots of hearty, classically Irish vegetables like potatoes, leeks, carrots, and more, and it’s cooked together and blended into a lovely, creamy soup.
There’s nothing like a hearty meal, and this Irish Vegetable Soup is exactly that. It’s flavorful, rich, and filling, but not overly so.
So grab a stock pot or dutch oven, and let’s get cooking!
Irish Farmhouse Vegetable Soup
Ingredients
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 3 medium potatoes, russet or yukon about 4 cups roughly diced
- 1/2 onion
- 2 leeks
- 2 stalks celery
- 3-4 cloves garlic
- 3 medium carrots
- 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 Tablespoon butter preferably Irish butter
Instructions
-
Peel the potatoes and roughly dice them into 1 inch cubes. Remove the garlic cloves from the skins. Roughly chop the carrots, celery, leeks, and onion.
-
Heat a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add the butter or oil. Add the carrots, onion, leeks, celery, and garlic. Saute in the butter for 8-10 minutes, or until softened slightly and beginning to caramelize.
-
Stir in the potatoes, broth, and seasonings.
-
Bring the soup to a boil, then lower the heat immediately. Cover and simmer for about 25-30 minutes, until the vegetables are softened through.
-
Remove the pot from the heat, and blend the soup using an immersion blender until it’s smooth.
-
Alternately, working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender. Cover and turn slowly to medium-high speed, blending until creamy.
Notes
To store leftovers: Transfer leftover soup to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, per USDA.
To freeze: To freeze blended soup, allow it to cool to room temperature, then carefully transfer the soup to a freezer-safe container or bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible, then seal. Lay flat in the freezer until hardened. Freeze for 4-6 months, per USDA. To defrost, set the bag or container on a plate in the refrigerator overnight.
