Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cottage cheese (small-curd is fine; blend for extra smoothness)
- 1 cup vegetable broth (low-sodium recommended)
- 1 cup milk (any kind; whole milk gives the creamiest result)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley, chives, or dill)
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil or butter.
- Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add the diced carrots and celery; cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 8–10 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the cottage cheese and milk, mixing until evenly combined. Do not let the pot come to a rolling boil.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat for a few more minutes until warmed through.
- Serve warm with a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
Notes
For a velvety soup, use an immersion blender to partially blitz the pot for a mix of creamy and chunky textures.
