Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup broccoli or cauliflower florets
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream, half-and-half, or coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs (thyme, parsley, or Italian seasoning)
  • Optional: 1 cup fresh spinach or kale
  • Optional toppings: grated Parmesan, red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion, carrots, and celery until softened, about 5–7 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add potatoes, corn, broccoli or cauliflower, and pour in the vegetable broth. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  5. If desired, whisk flour into the cream before adding for a thicker soup. Alternatively, blend a portion of the soup and stir back in.
  6. Stir in cream, half-and-half, or coconut milk and let simmer gently for 3–5 minutes.
  7. Optional: stir in spinach or kale until wilted before serving.
  8. Serve hot with grated Parmesan or red pepper flakes on top if desired.

Notes

  • Use frozen mixed vegetables as a shortcut to save prep time.
  • To thicken the soup, blend a portion or use a flour or cornstarch slurry.
  • For a vegan version, use coconut milk and skip cheese garnishes.
  • Store in fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Pairs well with bread, grilled cheese, or salad for a complete meal.
