Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat a large pot on medium heat. Once warm, add the oil, onions, carrots, celery, garlic, and salt. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
  2. Add the dairy-free butter to the pot. Once it starts to melt, sprinkle in the flour and mix well, ensuring that the vegetables are evenly covered in flour.
  3. Slowly pour in the vegetable broth, then add the pepper, oregano, thyme, and rosemary. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Continue stirring the soup frequently until it comes to a gentle boil.
Cooking
  1. Add the peas, corn, nutritional yeast, chickpeas (if using), and dairy-free milk to the pot. Cook on low heat for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until warmed through.
  2. Divide the soup into bowls and serve hot.

Notes

Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs for extra flavor. Pairs beautifully with crusty bread or a fresh salad. Top with extra nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor without dairy. Customize with your favorite vegetables, adjust cooking time accordingly, or blend for a thicker soup. Freezer-friendly for up to 3 months.
