Servings: 4 bowls
Calories: 258kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 lbs carrots peeled and chopped
- 3 celery stalks chopped
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger about a 2-inch knob
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 Granny Smith apples cored and chopped
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme or 1 teaspoon fresh
- 3-4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup plain non-dairy yogurt
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
Instructions
- In a large pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot and celery. Sprinkle with salt and cook for 5 minutes, until onion is translucent and veggies are slightly soft.
- To the pot, add the apples, thyme, garlic and ginger. Cover and cook, stirring often, for 15 minutes, until apples have broken down and vegetables are starting to brown.
- Pour in the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for another 15 minutes, until vegetables are soft. Remove from heat and allow to sit for a few minutes.
- Transfer the soup to a blender and blend on high until smooth. Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender and blend in batches until smooth. Add more broth if you prefer a thinner texture.
- Combine yogurt and maple syrup in a small bowl. Serve warm garnished with yogurt and fresh thyme (optional), and enjoy!
