Ingredients

• 6 large potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
2. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
3. Slowly pour in the vegetable broth, stirring continuously to avoid any lumps. Add the diced potatoes, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
4. Using a potato masher or immersion blender, partially mash the soup to thicken it slightly. Leave some chunks of potatoes for texture.
5. Stir in the whole milk and heavy cream. Simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the soup is heated through.
6. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
7. Serve the creamy potato soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
