Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to enhance the natural sweetness of the celery.
  2. Cut the celery into thirds, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for about 30 minutes until tender.
  3. In a large pot, heat another tablespoon of olive oil, add sliced cremini mushrooms, and sauté for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Incorporate the diced Yukon Gold potatoes and dry thyme, stirring for about a minute.
  5. Pour in enough water or vegetable stock to cover the vegetables, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
  6. Remove half of the cooked potatoes, blend the remaining mixture until smooth, then add the roasted celery.
  7. Return the blended mixture to the pot, add reserved potatoes, and bring to a gentle boil before adding pasta.
  8. Once the pasta is cooked, ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh dill or parsley, paprika, and a drizzle of olive oil.
