Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter or heat olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, sauté for about 3-4 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
- Incorporate 2 diced carrots and 2 medium potatoes, continuing to sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables soften.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables, stirring gently. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in 4 cups of vegetable broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Season with 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer for 15 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup of broccoli florets, 1 cup of frozen peas, and 1 cup of corn kernels. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until tender.
- Pour in 1 cup of whole milk or half-and-half and, if desired, 1/2 cup heavy cream. Stir gently until creamy.
- Adjust seasoning if needed and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving hot.

For a vegan option, replace dairy with coconut milk or cashew cream, and ensure your broth is vegetable-based.
