Steps

1. 1

   Begin by heating oil in a soup pot over medium-low heat. Add the onion and celery to the pot, then sauté them until they turn golden.

2. 2

   Begin by adding celery leaves, parsnips, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, seasoning, and bouillon cubes into the pot. Pour water over the vegetables until just covered. Allow the mixture to come to a rapid simmer before reducing the heat. Cover the pot and let it gently simmer until the vegetables are tender, which should take around 20 to 30 minutes. Once done, remove from heat and proceed with the next steps as needed.

3. 3

   Using a slotted spoon, scoop out half of the vegetables and place them into a food processor or blender. Puree the vegetables until smooth, then mix them back into the soup. Alternatively, immerse a hand blender into the soup pot and blend until roughly half of the soup is pureed.
