Preparing Amish Snow Day Soup
Turning fresh ingredients into a delightful soup is a breeze. You’ll start by tossing the veggies into your slow cooker and letting them simmer away. This hands-off method keeps it simple and stress-free, perfect for busy weeknights or lazy Sundays.
The key to this soup is to retain the texture of the vegetables while creating a rich and creamy broth. By blending only part of the soup, you’ll achieve a wonderful balance that’s both hearty and filling.
Gather these items
Before you dive into cooking, here’s what you’ll need:
- 4 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 3 potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 2 carrots (diced)
- 3 celery stalks (diced)
- 1 onion (diced)
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (chopped for garnish)
Feel free to swap out the veggies based on what you have at home. Sweet peas or green beans work wonderfully if corn is not available.
