INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. 1
    Heat the Galil Avocado Oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 5–6 minutes.
  2. 2
    Stir in the Galil Roasted Chestnuts, diced potato, bay leaf, and broth. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
  3. 3
    Let the soup simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes and vegetables are very tender. Remove the bay leaf. Using an immersion blender (or carefully transferring to a blender in batches), blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. 4
    Taste and adjust seasoning. Ladle into bowls and garnish with parsley, extra chestnuts, or a drizzle of Galil Avocado Oil. Serve warm and enjoy!
