2 cloves

garlic cloves, smashed

1

3 cups

low-sodium vegetable stock + 2 cups water

1/2 cup

Directions

1. Heat oil in a large stockpot and add onions, smashed garlic, and celery. Sauté until veggies are softened, around 4 minutes. Stir in bay leaves and parsley.
2. Add potatoes, parsnips, vegetable stock, and water. Bring to boil and reduce heat to simmer for 30-45 minutes.
3. Remove mixture from heat, season with salt and pepper, add plain yogurt if using. Purée with an immersion or standard blender until reaching desired texture. Serve immediately.
