Creamy Veggie Bowl (Printable Version)

A comforting dairy-free soup brimming with tender veggies and herbs, made easily in one pot.

# Ingredients:

→ Main Components

01 - 4 stems of celery, finely diced
02 - 3 medium-sized carrots, diced
03 - 1 medium white onion, diced
04 - 1 tablespoon oil (olive or neutral)
05 - 4 garlic cloves, minced

→ Liquid & Base

06 - 1/3 cup plain dairy-free butter
07 - 4 cups vegetable stock
08 - 3 tablespoons nutritional flakes
09 - 1/3 cup plain all-purpose flour
10 - 1 cup plain, unsweetened plant milk (soy works great)

→ Extras

11 - 1 cup peas (frozen)
12 - 1/2 cup corn kernels (frozen)
13 - 1 cup cooked beans or chickpeas (optional)

→ Flavors

14 - 1 teaspoon fine salt
15 - 1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves, fresh
16 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
17 - 1/2 teaspoon oregano, fresh
18 - 1/2 teaspoon rosemary, fresh

# Steps:

01 - Warm up a big pot over medium heat. Toss in the garlic, onion, carrots, celery, oil, and a pinch of salt. Let it all cook for about 5 minutes as the onion softens.
02 - Drop in the butter, let it melt completely, then stir in the flour, coating the vegetables. It'll turn pasty and thick.
03 - Pour the veggie stock slowly while stirring. Add thyme, rosemary, pepper, and oregano. Stir until it all blends nicely.
04 - As it warms, stir it often to stop it from sticking. When it starts bubbling gently, you’ll notice it getting thicker.
05 - Mix in the milk, nutritional yeast, beans, peas, and corn. Let it cook on low heat for around 5 minutes until everything is heated through.

# Notes:

01 - Swap fresh herbs with dried if needed
02 - Add extra stock if the mixture feels too dense
03 - Great for feeding a crowd by doubling the portions
04 - Any non-dairy milk will do
