Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

In a large stockpot, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 10 minutes.

02

Step
2 mins

Add the diced kohlrabi to the pot and cook, stirring, for an additional 2 minutes to lightly coat it with the butter and onion mixture.

03

Step
25 mins

Pour in the vegetable broth and milk. Add the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the kohlrabi is tender, approximately 25 minutes.

04

Step
0 mins

Remove and discard the bay leaf. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

05

Step
10 mins

Stir in the orzo pasta, cover the pot, and continue to simmer until the orzo is tender, about 10 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed before serving.

For a richer flavor, consider using homemade vegetable broth.
A swirl of cream or a dollop of sour cream can be added as a garnish before serving.
Fresh herbs like parsley or chives can also be sprinkled on top for added flavor and visual appeal.
If you don't have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches and blend until smooth. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.
The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
