Instructions
Preparation
- Heat butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add onion, carrots, celery, and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Turn the heat up to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes until onions are translucent.
- Reduce heat to medium and add garlic, oregano, thyme, and sage. Cook for another minute, stirring frequently.
- Add flour and stir to coat veggies. Cook for one more minute, stirring frequently.
- Add a hearty pour of veggie broth to deglaze the pot, scraping the yummy bits off the bottom.
- Stir in diced potatoes, corn, broccoli, and remaining veggie broth, along with a couple pinches of salt and pepper.
- Cover, turn heat up to medium-high, and bring to a simmer.
- Once it begins to simmer, turn heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10–12 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
- Remove soup from heat. Stir in heavy cream, shredded cheese, and vinegar.
- Stir until cheese is melted, and garnish with parsley, cheddar cheese, and crackers. Serve warm.
Notes
To prevent grainy dairy texture, heat gently after adding cream and cheese. If separating after refrigeration, whisk in a splash of warm broth when reheating.
