How to Make It
- Sauté Aromatics:
In a large pot, melt the butter (or heat oil) over medium heat.
Add the onion and cook 3–4 minutes until softened, then add garlic and cook another minute. (Sara Tasty) - Add Veggies & Broth:
Add potatoes, carrots (and celery if using). Pour in the broth and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer about 15–20 minutes until potatoes are tender. (Sara Tasty) - Add Dairy & Corn:
Stir in milk and cream, then add corn if using. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper.
Simmer another 5–10 minutes to meld flavors. (Sara Tasty) - Finish & Serve:
Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with parsley, shredded cheese, or bacon if you like, and serve hot with crusty bread or rolls. (Sara Tasty)
🍲 Tips & Variations
- Add chicken or ham: Stir in cooked shredded chicken or diced ham for extra protein and heartiness. (glassika.com)
- Thicker texture: Mash a few potatoes in the pot or add a little flour or cornstarch slurry to thicken. (Sara Tasty)
- Vegetarian: Use vegetable broth and skip the meat or add beans for plant protein. (Sara Tasty)
- Slow cooker version: Put all veggies and broth in a slow cooker and cook LOW 6–8 hrs; add dairy in the last 30 min to prevent curdling. (The Vegnish)
