Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base

  • 1 cup Corn Adds sweetness and texture; substitute with green beans or peas for a twist.
  • 1 cup Peas Introduce a pop of flavor and color; frozen peas work perfectly for convenience.
For the Creaminess

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by chopping the celery, carrots, and onions into small, even pieces to ensure they cook uniformly. Add the corn and peas to the mix, setting aside frozen peas until later.
  2. In a large pot, heat two tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the chopped onions and celery, cooking them for about 5 minutes until they become soft and fragrant.
  3. Next, toss in the chopped carrots and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes until they're slightly tender.
  4. Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth carefully, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil.
  5. Once boiling, add the corn and peas, stirring them into the pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot, cooking for an additional 10 minutes.
  6. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in your choice of cream or a dairy-free alternative, along with nutritional yeast.
  7. Ladle the One-Pot Creamy Vegetable Soup into bowls, garnishing with freshly chopped herbs.
