👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Sauté the base: In a large pot over medium heat, add oil, onions, carrots, celery, garlic, and salt. Cook for 5 minutes until onions are translucent. 🧅🥕
Make the roux: Add dairy-free butter. Once melted, sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat the veggies. The mixture will be thick and sticky.
Add broth and herbs: Slowly pour in the veggie broth while stirring. Add pepper, oregano, thyme, and rosemary. Stir until smooth.
Simmer gently: Bring the soup to a light boil, stirring frequently to avoid sticking. The broth will begin to thicken. 🍲
Finish with flavor: Add peas, corn, nutritional yeast, chickpeas (if using), and dairy-free milk. Lower the heat and simmer for 5–7 minutes until heated through.
Serve & enjoy: Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve with crusty bread. 🥖
