Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup diced potatoes
- 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for thickening)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add diced carrots and celery. Sauté for another 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add diced potatoes and corn, mixing well.
- Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
- Stir in dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for about 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- In a separate bowl, mix heavy cream and flour until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the soup while stirring to thicken.
- Add frozen peas and Dijon mustard, stirring until combined and heated through.
- Simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a dairy-free or vegan option, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk or a dairy-free cream.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or asparagus.
- Chicken broth can be used instead of vegetable broth for a richer flavor if not following a vegetarian or vegan diet.
- This soup stores well in the refrigerator for 4-5 days and can be frozen for up to 3 months.
