Ingredients
Soup Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups potatoes, diced
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Topping
- 1 cup biscuit dough (for topping)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil: In a large pot, warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat to create the base for sautéing the vegetables.
- Sauté vegetables: Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook them until they become soft and fragrant, usually about 5–7 minutes.
- Add garlic and herbs: Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Cook for about a minute to release the aromas and deepen the flavor.
- Simmer broth and veggies: Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Then add the diced potatoes, frozen peas, and corn kernels. Reduce the heat and let everything simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Add cream and season: Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream to give the soup a rich, creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
- Add biscuit topping and bake: Spoon biscuit dough evenly over the top of the simmering soup in the pot or transfer to an oven-safe dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through, usually around 20 minutes. Serve warm.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk or a plant-based cream alternative.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or green beans for extra flavor and nutrition.
- If you don’t have biscuit dough, puff pastry or homemade pastry dough can work as an alternative topping.
- Make sure the biscuit topping is spread evenly to ensure even baking and a golden crust.
- This soup can be reheated on the stovetop gently to retain its creamy texture.
