Seasoning and Garnish

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Potatoes and Corn

    Stir in the diced potatoes and sweet corn kernels. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cooking the Soup

  1. 3

    Add Broth and Seasoning

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add salt, black pepper, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

  2. 4

    Simmer

    Let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Final Touches

  1. 5

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender.

  2. 6

    Add Cream

    Stir in the heavy cream and heat through without boiling. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve hot, garnished with chopped chives.
