A wholesome and creamy vegetable soup perfect for chilly evenings, made in one pot for easy preparation and cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 potato, diced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., green beans, peas, corn)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh herbs (e.g., parsley, basil) for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the chopped carrots, celery, and diced potato to the pot. Stir everything together, letting the vegetables start to soften for about 5 minutes.

  4. Stir in the heavy cream and the mixed vegetables. Season your soup with dried thyme, salt, and pepper, adjusting to taste.
  5. Allow it to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, until everything is heated through and the flavors meld beautifully.
  6. Serve your soup hot, garnishing with fresh herbs and enjoy alongside a crusty piece of bread for a truly comforting meal.

Notes

For a creamier texture, blend a small portion of the soup before adding the cream. Feel free to customize with your favorite vegetables.
