Method
Preparation
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant—about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the carrots and potatoes. Sauté for 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, stirring until they are well-coated.
- Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth to avoid any lumps forming in the mix.
- Season the pot with thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Allow it to simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Fold in the broccoli, peas, and corn, letting them simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes until just tender.
- Pour in the milk and cream (if using), stirring until the soup is creamy and thick. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. To freeze, let the soup cool before transferring to freezer-safe containers; it can last up to 3 months.
