Step 1: Sauté aromatics

In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 2: Add vegetables

Stir in diced carrots, chopped celery, and zucchini. Cook for another 5 minutes to develop flavors and soften the vegetables slightly.

Use an immersion blender to blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth and creamy, or carefully transfer to a blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.
