Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup vegetable oil (avocado works well here)
1 medium sized red onion, diced
1 large carrot, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 large parsnip, diced
8-10 baby potatoes, quartered
½ cup shelled peas (baby peas are best)
½ cup shelled corn
¾ cup white wine (sub veg stock if alcohol-free)
¼ cup flour
4 cups chicken-style vegetable broth
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Croutons, for garnish
Extra virgin olive oil, for garnish

DIRECTIONS

Heat a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and 2 Tbsp. of the oil, and wait for the garlic to cook, maybe a minute.
Add the onions, and cook until translucent, deglazing with a splash of white wine if needed.
Add the celery, onion, parsnip, potato and the rest of the cooking oil, mixing well to coat all ingredients. Continue to cook over medium heat until potatoes are fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. As you continue to cook, ingredients will start sticking to the bottom of the pan, and as they do, continue to de-glaze with the white wine.
Once potatoes are fork-tender, dust the flour over all ingredients, then stir well to incorporate. Continue cooking until flour at the bottom of the pan starts to brown, 3-4 minutes. Add vegetable stock in ½ cup increments, stirring well each time to prevent lumps.
Once all stock has been incorporated, continue to cook for a few more minutes, then remove from heat and cover. Serve immediately or allow to sit for a few more minutes if you prefer it a little thicker.
Serve garnished with plenty of fresh parsley, croutons, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
