4 cups reduced-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
5-6 cups (from 1 large bunch) flat-leaf parsley
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Optional garnishes: croutons, edible flowers, extra-virgin olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, or minced fresh herbs like chives

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until softened.
Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the diced Yukon gold potato and pour in the broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the potato is tender.
Add the parsley to the pot and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the leaves are just wilted.
Carefully transfer the soup to a blender, or use an immersion blender, and blend until smooth and creamy. Season with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
Serve hot with your choice of garnish, such as croutons, a drizzle of olive oil, grated Parmesan, or fresh herbs.
