How to Make this Delicious Soup
First, you have to sauté the finely chopped onion and potato with the unsalted butter. This will take up to 10 minutes for the potato and onion to soften. Keep stirring so they don’t stick and burn.
Second, once they are softened, add the shredded carrots and corn. I prefer cutting my shredded carrots a little smaller. But of course it is totally optional.
After that, add all the seasonings to the rest of the ingredients, and mix.
Next, add the half and half with the the chicken broth and mix.
Then, cover the pot and let it simmer on medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Next, take half of the amount of vegetables once softened and purée them using a blender or you can opt for an immersion blender to do the task.
Finally, return it to the pot, mix very well, and lastly serve!
