Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cups mirepoix (or diced carrots, celery, and onion)
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes (diced)
  • 1.5 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 cups chicken stock or broth
  • 2 cups frozen broccoli florets (thawed and finely chopped)
  • 1 cup frozen corn

  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • Hearty buttered bread (optional, for serving)
  • Fresh herbs (optional, for serving, such as parsley or thyme)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt 1 tablespoon of butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add mirepoix and sauté until soft (about 5–7 minutes). Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  2. Add diced baby potatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 10–15 minutes until veggies are crisp-tender. Stir in thawed broccoli florets and frozen corn; cook until tender.
  3. In a separate saucepan, melt remaining butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour for 1 minute. Gradually pour in milk while whisking; cook until thickened. Stir in heavy cream.
