Steps
Preparation
Peel and finely chop the onion, carrot, and garlic. Peel and dice the potato.
Sauté Aromatics
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and carrot, and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Roux and Simmer
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute to create a roux. Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add the diced potato and frozen green peas. Season with salt, pepper, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Finish and Serve
Stir in the heavy cream and heat the soup through, but do not boil. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Garnish with freshly chopped dill or parsley before serving hot.
Extra Tips
► For an even creamier soup, blend a portion or all of the soup before adding the cream.
► A pinch of nutmeg can add an extra layer of flavor.
► Serve with toasted bread cubes or croutons for a more filling meal.
