Pour in the chicken stock, ensuring all vegetables are submerged.

-
Cover and cook for approximately 40 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender and easily pierced with a fork.
-
Carefully transfer the hot soup to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree until completely smooth. If using a countertop blender, work in batches and vent the lid to avoid steam buildup.
