  2. Stir in 2 diced medium carrots and 2 diced medium potatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables, mixing thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Gradually whisk in 4 cups of vegetable broth, ensuring the mixture is smooth. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

  6. Stir in 2 cups of broccoli florets, 1 cup of frozen peas, and 1 cup of corn kernels. Continue to simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes.
  7. Lower the heat and pour in 1 cup of whole milk or half-and-half and 1/2 cup of heavy cream, stirring until creamy, about 3 minutes.
