Preparing the Base
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery; cook for about 5-7 minutes until softened.
- Sprinkle flour over the cooked vegetables and stir for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in vegetable broth and milk, ensuring no lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Cooking the Soup
- Add diced potatoes to the pot. Continue to simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the frozen green beans, peas, and corn. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until vegetables are heated through. Season with dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper to taste.
Serving
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
For a richer soup, use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk. Add cooked chicken or turkey for a non-vegetarian version. Adjust vegetable quantities and types based on preference.
