Ingredients
Scale
- 4T Butter
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 cup chopped carrot
- 3–4 pounds of potatoes
- 1 bag frozen corn
- 2 boxes broth of choice (bone broth for protein or veggie for vegetarian)

Instructions
For Stovetop:
- Chop onion, celery, and carrot or use frozen.
- Add butter to pan on medium heat until melted.
- Add onion, celery, and carrot and cook until softened. If using frozen, ensure you cook it long enough for all water to evaporate. You aren’t looking to caramelize, but to soften the veggies.
- Meanwhile, peel and chop potatoes. I swear by my chopper to make the process quick and easy. It’s an added bonus that the potatoes will all be a uniform size and cook evenly.
- Add all ingredients except heavy cream to a large pot. Bring to a boil for 10 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low, add cream, and allow to simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
