Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (olive oil recommended)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium white onion, chopped
  • 3 medium carrots, chopped
  • 4 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
  • 1/3 cup dairy-free butter
  • 1 cup unsweetened dairy-free milk (soy milk recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • 1 cup chickpeas or white beans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot on medium heat. Once warm, add the oil, onions, carrots, celery, garlic, and salt. Cook for 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
  2. Add the butter to the pot and let it melt completely. Once melted, combine the flour and mix, coating the vegetables in flour. This roux mixture will be thick and sticky. Stir for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Slowly add the vegetable broth, pepper, oregano, thyme, and rosemary. Mix until well combined.
  4. Stir the soup frequently until it comes to a gentle boil. Cook for 7-10 minutes as the soup thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Keep stirring so the soup does not burn.
  5. Combine the peas, corn, nutritional yeast, chickpeas, and milk to the pot. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes on low heat or until the peas and corn have warmed through.
  6. Divide soup into bowls and serve with bread or crackers.

Notes

  • Substitute fresh herbs with dried herbs if needed (use half the amount).
  • As soup cools it will thicken. Add additional vegetable broth to thin if needed.
  • Cut all vegetables about the same size for even cooking.
  • Soy milk provides extra plant protein, but almond, oat, and cashew milk also work well.
  • For gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free flour and ensure vegetable broth and nutritional yeast are certified gluten-free.
