Ingredients

• Chicken broth — 1 tsp.
• Onion powder — ½ tsp.
• All-purpose flour — 3 tbsp.
• Garlic powder — ½ tsp.
• Salt and pepper — to taste.
• Cooked vegetables — 1 cup, finely chopped.
• Heavy cream — 1 ½ cups.
• Butter — 3 tbsp.
• Corn syrup — 1 tsp.

Instructions

1. Cook the vegetables individually until tender, before starting to make the soup.

2. Melt the butter in a pot. Add the onion powder, garlic powder, and corn syrup, and stir well.

3. Whisk in the flour to make the roux.

4. Add salt and pepper, chicken broth, and cooked vegetables.

5. Let it simmer for a few minutes.

6. Add the heavy cream, and simmer.

Substitutions

• Cooked vegetables — This Dixie Stampede creamy vegetable soup recipe completely allows you to use any vegetable you’d like, like potatoes, carrots, onions, frozen peas, and green beans. It won’t hurt to add more vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and spinach. After all, the variety of vegetables makes this one better than your ordinary potato soup or squash soup.

• Heavy cream — Cream is among the most important ingredients when it comes to making this creamy vegetable soup. Not only does it add flair with the creaminess, but it also provides a rich flavor. If it is too strong for you, you might be better off with plain milk. You could also opt for half-and-half if you’d like a mix between the two.

• Butter — We’ll be using butter to make the roux, which is an important step in making our creamy vegetable soup, so feel free to use this one generously for a proper roux. If you want an alternative to butter, any kind of oil would do.

• Chicken broth — Chicken broth is the ultimate comfort food, especially for those cold nights when you’re in dire need of a hearty, filling soup to warm your bones, not to mention its nutritional value. Vegetable broth fits in this recipe as well as chicken broth, if not more.

• Corn syrup — A controversial ingredient, corn syrup will give your creamy vegetable soup a good shine, and a saucy flavor. Although the original Dixie Stampede soup recipe calls for this one, we’re not the biggest advocates of using corn syrup, especially in soup. So, feel free to omit it; your body will be thankful.

Variations

• Vegan — This recipe for a creamy vegetable soup from Dixie Stampede could also be made vegan. You might want to start with chicken broth, which can be substituted with vegetable broth. And if you don’t want to use vegetable broth, use water, though your soup will lack some flavor.
  
  Use plant-based milk to substitute for the heavy cream at a 1/1 ratio. Almond, soy, and coconut would all do great. Lastly, you might want to use vegetable oil instead of butter and you’re all set!

Equipment

• Measuring spoons and cups.

• Whisk.

• Cooking pot.

Storage

• Once your creamy vegetable soup has cooled completely, transfer it to an airtight container. Stored in your fridge, the leftover soup will last for 3-4 days.

• You could also freeze the leftover soup. Wait for it to cool, and transfer it to an airtight container. Stored in your freezer, your leftover creamy vegetable soup will last for between 3-4 months.

Tips

• Cook until tender — When you cook the vegetables individually, don’t rush. They need to be cooked until they are tender, which helps with the texture of your soup.

• Use a blender — Though you will be finely chopping the vegetables, your soup will still be chunky. If you’d rather have a smooth and creamy vegetable soup, puree the soup using a blender.
