How to Make Amish Snow Day Soup
Now that we’ve gathered all the ingredients, let’s dive into the cooking process! You’ll be amazed at how simple and quick it is to whip this up.
Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, melt your butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until it becomes translucent and oh-so fragrant. Then toss in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until it’s beautifully aromatic, just wait until you smell it!
Add the Potatoes: Next, stir in the diced potatoes. These guys will need a few moments to soak in all that deliciousness. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Pour in the Broth: Now, carefully pour in the vegetable broth. Bring everything to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let this simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Creamy Finish: Once the potatoes are nice and soft, add the heavy cream, corn, and peas. This is where the magic happens. You’ll want to stir everything gently, allowing the soup to heat through, give it about 3-5 minutes.
Season to Taste: Time to season! Add a couple pinches of salt and pepper to taste. Give it a final stir and let it simmer a minute longer. If you want to kick up the flavor, now’s the time to sprinkle in some dried herbs!
Serve It Up: Ladle the soup into bowls, and if you want to feel extra fancy, even though it’s just family dinner garnish with some fresh parsley or a sprinkle of more pepper. Serve warm and enjoy the cozy vibes!
