3 tbsp 3 All Purpose Flour
4 cups 4 Milk – 4%
1 tsp 1 Sea Salt
.5 tsp .5 Black pepper – ground
Directions
- Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet and add onions, celery and carrots. Cook for a few minutes till the onions soften, making sure not to brown them. Add the garlic, beans, mushrooms, broccoli and corn and saute for 2-3 minutes. Mix in the thyme and oregano and add the flour.
- Add the flour along with thyme and oregano and cook the flour with veggies for a minute and a half. Add the whole milk slowly, while stirring continuously. Keep stirring while you bring this to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer.
- Add salt and pepper and let everything simmer for 6-7 minutes or till the soup thickens. Add a little broth or more milk to thin it out if its too thick for you. Serve hot.
Notes
- You can use pre-cut or frozen veggies to make this soup even faster.
- Feel free to add half & half or cream if you prefer, in combination with the milk
- To make this soup non vegetarian, add some cooked chicken, ham or shrimp towards the end
- You can use corn flour to thicken the soup instead of all purpose flour. In this case, skip the step of adding the flour. Make a corn flour slurry and add it in the end to thicken the soup.
- To make this into a meal, you can also add cooked pasta to the soup
