Instructions
- Add onions, celery, and carrots to a skillet with heated butter and olive oil. Be careful not to brown the onions as you cook them for a few minutes until they soften. Sauté the garlic, broccoli, corn, mushrooms, and beans for two to three minutes. Stir in the oregano and thyme, then stir in the flour.
- Add the flour, thyme, and oregano, and cook for one and a half minutes, stirring the mixture. Slowly pour in the whole milk, stirring constantly. After bringing this to a boil and lowering the heat to a simmer, stir continuously.
- After adding the salt and pepper, boil the mixture for 6–7 minutes, or until the soup thickens. If it's too thick for you, thin it out with a little broth or extra milk. Warm up the food.
Notes
- To speed up the preparation of this soup, you can use frozen or precut vegetables.
- Feel free to combine the milk with cream or half-and-half if you'd like.
- By adding cooked chicken, ham, or shrimp at the end, you can turn this soup non-vegetarian.
- You may also add cooked pasta to the soup to turn it into a meal.
- Instead of using all-purpose flour to thicken the soup, try using corn flour. In this instance, omit the flour addition step. To thicken the soup, make a slurry with corn flour and add it at the last minute.
