Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour, if needed)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups whole milk (or dairy-free alternative, like oat milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup baby potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional toppings: Flaky biscuits or puff pastry rounds
  • Optional toppings: Grated Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option)

Instructions

  1. Heat the butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Once melted, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  3. Sprinkle the flour into the pot and stir well to create a thick paste. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
  4. Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Once smooth, add the milk and continue stirring.
  5. Season the soup base with dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Add the carrots, celery, and baby potatoes to the pot. Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes, or until the veggies are tender.
  7. Stir in the frozen peas, corn kernels, and mushrooms (if using). Cook for another 5 minutes.
  8. Finish with fresh parsley and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the soup is too thick, add a splash of broth or milk to thin it out.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm, topped with biscuits or puff pastry rounds if desired.

Notes

[‘Don’t rush the roux to avoid a raw flour taste.’, ‘Cut vegetables evenly for consistent cooking.’, ‘Taste and season gradually to suit your preferences.’, ‘For a thicker soup, stir in a slurry made from 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water.’, ‘Use full-fat milk or cream for the richest texture, or lighter alternatives like almond milk for a dairy-free option.’]
