In a large cooking pot set over medium-high heat, add the extra virgin olive oil. Add the chopped onions, carrots, celery, garlic, and cubed potatoes. Season with kosher salt, black pepper, ground cumin, paprika, and turmeric. Cook the vegetables, tossing occasionally, for about 5 to 7 minutes until they are slightly softened.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the soup to a boil. Boil for about 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot partially. Let the soup simmer gently for 20 to 30 minutes or until the potatoes are very tender and fully cooked through.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the milk (or plant-based alternative). Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Carefully use an immersion blender to blend the soup directly in the pot until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Ladle the soup into serving bowls and garnish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, chopped fresh parsley, and the trimmed green onions for a fresh finish.
