Ingredients

• ¼ cup butter
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 6 potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 3 cups water
• 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon powder (use vegetable bouillon for a vegetarian version)
• Ground black pepper to taste
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 cups milk
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• ¼ teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• In a separate large pot, add diced potatoes, carrots, water, and chicken bouillon. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender (about 10 minutes). Do not overcook.
• Stir flour into the cooked onions to create a smooth paste. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Gradually add milk, whisking to avoid lumps. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens slightly and is warmed through.
• Combine the creamy milk mixture with the cooked potato and carrot mixture. Add parsley and thyme. Stir well and heat through.
• Season with black pepper to taste and serve hot.
