Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups diced potatoes
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • ½ cup frozen corn
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  • Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
  • Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  • Simmer the Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Add Dairy & Vegetables: Pour in the milk, heavy cream, peas, and corn. Stir to combine.
  • Season the Soup: Add thyme, salt, and pepper, adjusting to taste.
  • Finish Cooking: Let the soup simmer on low heat for 5-10 more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Serve & Enjoy: Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.

  • For added protein, stir in shredded chicken or cooked sausage.
  • To thicken the soup, mash some of the potatoes before adding the milk and cream.
