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