• Ready In: 1hr
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 cups vegetable stock
• 5 small potatoes, peeled and halved
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 6 green onions, cut into 3 inch lengths
• 12 baby carrots
• 1 1⁄2 lbs fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch lengths
• 2 cups fresh shelled green peas
• 2 cups half-and-half
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

directions

1. Heat stock to boiling in a medium pot; add potatoes. Reduce to a Simmer until potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes.
2. Add salt, pepper, butter, onions, carrots and green beans; simmer until tender then add peas. If you can't find fresh peas, frozen works just fine.
3. In a small bowl, stir together half-and-half and flour until smooth; stir into the simmering vegetables slowly.
4. Cook, stirring constantly until the soup is slightly thickened. Serve immediately.

I love soups and this is now among my favorites. I was going to cut the recipe in half but I'm glad I didn't! All those wonderful fresh veggies, yummy. I did use beef broth instead of veggie broth. But I doubt it changed the flavor that much. Thank you, Blink. Lee
