Mindful Potato Carrot Soup

Ingredients

4 cups red potato, diced (skin on or off as you prefer)
1 cup onion, diced
1 cup celery, sliced (include some leaves)
2 cups carrot, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 teaspoons garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
fresh cracked black pepper, to taste

Preparation

1
In a large pot, saute the onion, celery and carrot in olive oil and butter til veges are softened a bit.
2
Add potato, vege stock (how much you use depends upon how thick or brothy you prefer), and seasonings.
3
Simmer covered until veges are cooked and adjust seasonings to your taste.
4
Add the evaporated milk and heat thoroughly.
5
Using a hand held potato masher, smash a bit of the veges - this thickens the broth. Do not mash all the veges as it is best with a rustic chunky texture.
6
If it is too thin, add some roux - either homemade or instant.
7
This soup is incredibly easy, tasty, healthy, and low in calorie so indulge often.
