Method
- Warm oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, red pepper, and carrots; cook 5 minutes until beginning to soften.
- Stir in celery and potato if using. Add broth, season lightly with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 20–25 minutes, until the celery and carrots are tender.
- Blend until smooth or partially blend for texture. Stir in milk or cream if desired, warm gently without boiling, and finish with parsley. Adjust seasoning before serving.
