Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 russet potatoes (peeled and diced small)
- 1 medium yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 12 ounces frozen corn
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1½ cups half n half
- 1½ teaspoons bullion powder
Instructions
- 1
Sauté the finely chopped onion and potato with the unsalted butter. This will take time for both to soften, about 10 minutes.
- 2
Stir often so they don't stick and burn.
- 3
Once softened, add the shredded carrots and corn. I like to cut my shredded carrots a little smaller, but that is optional.
- 4
Add all the seasonings and mix.
- 5
Add the half n half with the chicken broth and mix.
- 6
Cover and let it simmer on medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until all the vegetables are softened.
- 7
Once softened, take half of the amount of the vegetables and purée them using a blender or use an immersion blender.
- 8
Return it to the pot, mix, and serve.
