Ingredients
6 tablespoons butter
1 yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 large carrots, diced
2 cups diced potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup green beans, chopped
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 cup seared biscuit chunks or croutons (optional, for topping)
Instructions
1. Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté for 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
2. Add carrots and potatoes, cook for 6-8 minutes. Sprinkle in flour and stir to coat the veggies evenly. Let it cook for 1 minute to remove raw flour taste.
3. Gradually pour in vegetable broth, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes until potatoes are tender.
4. Stir in whole milk and heavy cream. Add peas, corn, and green beans. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer 5-7 minutes more.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning. Stir in fresh parsley and serve hot with biscuit chunks or croutons if desired.
Notes
For a vegan version, substitute butter with olive oil and use plant-based milk and cream.
Biscuit chunks add a nostalgic pot pie texture, but the soup is just as good without them.
Add a splash of broth when reheating to maintain creaminess.
