Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Melt the butter or warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, then cook until fragrant.
- Add the carrots and potatoes and sauté for about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the carrots and potatoes and stir until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Cooking
- Gradually whisk the vegetable broth into the pot, stirring continuously to keep the mixture smooth.
- Stir in the dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Add the broccoli, peas, and corn. Continue simmering for another 5 to 7 minutes, until the vegetables are just tender.
- Pour in the whole milk or half-and-half and optional heavy cream. Cook until the soup is creamy and thickened, then adjust the salt and pepper.
Serving
- Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
Notes
For a vegan version, use olive oil and plant-based milk and omit the heavy cream.
