You will love this easy, delicious, and creamy vegetable soup recipe. Don’t worry too much about how you prep the vegetables. You should be fine as long as they are all of a similar size. Since this is a blended soup, you do not need to mince the garlic cloves. Just peel and cut them in half. We have been making this soup for years. It’s simple to make, healthy, and comforting. Throw lots of vegetables into a big pot, add stock and herbs, and then simmer until done. Blend, and it is ready to eat. For a brothy soup, see this Homemade Vegetable Soup.
