Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 bunch scallion, sliced, keep the white and green parts separated
  • 4 carrots, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
  • 1 lb red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 cups milk, whole for a richer flavor and 1% if like me you have to watch the fat
  • 1 cup cut green beans
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 cup peas
  • 1/4 teaspoon thyme, powder

Method

  • Melt butter in large pot over medium heat. Add white part of scallions, carrots, potatoes, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cover and cook 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are slightly soft but not browned.
  • Add flour to pot and mix into vegetables. Add water stiring at same time to dissolve the flour. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes or until vegetables are almost tender.
  • Stir in green part of scallions, milk, green beans, corn, peas, and thyme. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered 5 to 10 minutes until vegetables are tender. (Make sure heat is not to high or milk will scorch and get yucky.).
