Vegetables
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
Liquids & Dairy
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup whole milk or half-and-half
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil
Seasoning & Thickener
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
- Sauté aromatics: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add root vegetables: Stir in the diced carrots and potatoes, sautéing for 5 minutes to begin softening them.
- Coat with flour: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat, which will help thicken the soup later.
- Add broth: Slowly whisk in the vegetable broth, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming, creating a smooth base.
- Simmer with herbs: Add 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 remaining vegetables: Stir in the broccoli florets, frozen peas, and corn kernels. Simmer for an additional 5–7 minutes until all vegetables are just tender but still vibrant.
- Add dairy and finish: Pour in the whole milk and heavy cream if using. Stir consistently until the soup thickens and becomes creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Garnish and serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve hot for a cozy and comforting meal.
Notes
- Heavy cream is optional but adds richness and creaminess to the soup.
- For a vegan version, substitute butter with olive oil and use plant-based milk and cream alternatives.
- Use gluten-free flour to make this soup gluten-free if needed.
- Feel free to swap vegetables based on seasonality or preference.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
