Cooking method
Step 1
Heat butter and olive oil in a pot, add garlic, fry for 2 minutes. Add celery and carrots to the garlic, lightly fry. Add onion, cook until golden brown. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

Pour vinegar and stock into a pot with fried vegetables, salt, stir and bring to a boil. Cover the soup, bring to boil and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the soup from heat, blitz with a hand blender, slowly adding the cream, until the soup is smooth.
My tips and tricks:
If your cream soup is too thick or too thin, don’t despair – everything can be quickly and easily fixed. To thin the soup, try adding stock or cream and blitz with a hand blender. And to make it thicker, add flour lightly fried in butter, also not forgetting to blitz everything with a hand blender.
Everyone is used to eating soup for lunch and usually it is one type of soup. But may I suggest to try and make it two. For example, garlic soup and parsnip soup. They are both easy and are similar in structure. This will look like a soup from an expensive restaurant, and you can go even further and decorate the soup with a pattern. To do this, pour a portion of each soup into a plate so that they do not mix with each other. Then draw a wide zigzag with a thin stream of cream. Draw a few vertical lines with the opposite end of the tablespoon, connecting the zigzag lines.
