How To Make creamy vegetable soup
-
Step 1In a large sauce pan, heat oil and add onions. Stir and cook on medium for 5 minutes. Add carrots for 3-4 minutes. Add diced potatoes and 1 cup water. Add salt and seasonings. Cook on medium 10-12 minutes until the vegetables are very tender.
-
Step 2While the onions, carrots and potatoes are cooking, add the broccoli to a small sauce pan with remaining ½ cup water. Cover. Cook broccoli until desired tenderness, about 5 minutes. If you use stems, remove flowers and let stems cook a few more minutes until very tender. Cut broccoli into small pieces. Save the broccoli cooking water.
-
Step 3Use a potato masher to mash onions, carrots and potatoes partially.
-
Step 4Add Velveeta chunks and pepper jack cheese to cooked onions, carrots and stir until cheese melts.
-
Step 5Add milk and cornstarch to a pint jar; add a lid and shake until well blended. Add mixture to soup pot. Stir until soup is slightly thickened.
-
Step 6Add chopped broccoli and its cooking water and raw spinach. Stir and cook until spinach is just wilted.
-
Step 7Taste and adjust seasonings as you wish.
