Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter or olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 diced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until fragrant and the onion is translucent.
- Stir in 2 diced carrots and 2 diced potatoes, sautéing for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour over the cooked vegetables and stir thoroughly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in 4 cups of vegetable broth, ensuring to eliminate any lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer and allow to thicken slightly.
- Add 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary, along with salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer for 15 minutes.
- Next, add 1 cup of broccoli florets, 1 cup of frozen peas, and 1 cup of corn kernels to the pot. Stir well and simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low, then stir in 1 cup of whole milk and, if desired, 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.
