Ingredients
Scale
Soup Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 14.5 ounce can chicken broth (regular or low-sodium)
- 15 ounce can mixed vegetables, drained
- 2 cups half and half
Instructions
- Prepare the roux: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, white pepper, and salt. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Add broth and vegetables: Whisk in the chicken broth and add the drained mixed vegetables. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Blend the vegetables: Using a potato masher, immersion blender, or regular blender, mash or blend the vegetables until you achieve your desired soup consistency—either chunky or smooth.
- Incorporate half and half and finish simmering: Whisk in the half and half and continue to simmer the soup for another 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken and heat through. Serve hot with your choice of garlic biscuits, cornbread, hoecakes, or standard biscuits.
Notes
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on the type of chicken broth used.
- For a richer flavor, use regular chicken broth instead of low-sodium.
- Use an immersion blender for easier blending directly in the pot.
- Serve with warm biscuits or cornbread to complement the creamy texture of the soup.
- Leftover soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
