Creamy Vegetable Soup

May 21, 2016 By Mihaela K. Sebrek Leave a Comment

The blend of two best soups – creamy potato soup and an abundance of carrots, peas, and cauliflower.


The soup has always been synonymous with comfort food, food that strengthens, heals, and reminds of a homely atmosphere and the time we spend with family.
This is that kind of soup. It’s a blend of two of best soups, creamy potato soup and abundance of carrots, peas, and cauliflower. I can say, this is one of the 5 best soups on our list. Everyone loves it.

Creamy Vegetable Soup
The main ingredient of creamy soup is vegetables. In this soup, I included carrots, peas, cauliflower, potato, and celery. But you can add any kind of vegetables, such as broccoli, asparagus, mushrooms or corn.
Vegetables for a start need to be cleaned and chopped into small pieces. If pieces of vegetables are smaller, the soup will be over faster. Frozen vegetables are very convenient and also saves time.

Creamy Vegetable Soup

The aromatic start is very important, that means we need to saute onion, leek, or even a shallot first on y little butter or olive oil. You can skip that step, but you won’t get that full flavor we want.
Once the onions are softened, add some of the vegetables. Vegetables are briefly simmered to evaporate excess fluid and start to lightly caramelize, evolving rich flavor and sweet notes.
Adding a little bit of flour, we will thicken the soup and the next step is adding a liquid – chicken/vegetable stock or water and milk. Add the end, we add a little bit of sour cream or heavy cream (which I do not use).

Notes

***In Croatia, we are using grams and milliliters. Every recipe has a measuring in grams (milliliter), cups and ounces. I own cups and spoons measuring tools and I try to be exact when I convert weight into volume (cups), but there is a slight possibility of deviation from the exact amount. Due to differences in measurement, I recommend that you use a kitchen scale if you have one.
