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

Method

  • Heat stock to boiling in a medium pot; add potatoes. Reduce to a Simmer until potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes.
  • 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.
  • In a small bowl, stir together half-and-half and flour until smooth; stir into the simmering vegetables slowly.
  • Cook, stirring constantly until the soup is slightly thickened. Serve immediately.
