Creamy Vegetable Soup

A comforting and hearty creamy vegetable soup perfect for chilly days and quick weeknight meals.

Ingredients

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 4 cups mixed vegetables (like broccoli, cauliflower, and peas)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (like cheddar or cream cheese)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or thyme) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5–7 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and add the mixed vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 15–20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and cheese. Keep stirring until the cheese has melted and the soup is heated through, about 3–5 minutes.
  5. Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as desired.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs for a touch of color and added flavor.

Notes

Customize with your favorite vegetables and adjust the consistency by blending some of the soup if desired.
