Soup
- In a large pot on medium heat, add olive oil, onion, carrots and celery. Cook for about 3 minutes.
- Add in minced garlic, and cook for another minute.

- For a creamier soup, remove about 1-2 cups of the soup, add to a blender and blend until creamy. Then add back into the soup and stir to combine. (Or use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup.)
