Ingredients
  

Soup Base
  • 1 medium Onion Provides a savory base flavor; substitute with shallots for a milder taste.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Enhances overall aroma and flavor; fresh garlic can be swapped with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  • 4 cups Vegetable Broth Using low-sodium broth makes it healthier.

  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Substitute with unsweetened almond milk for a dairy-free version.

  • 1 cup Sweet Corn Adds sweetness and color; fresh corn can replace canned or frozen corn.
  • 1 cup Peas Contributes slight sweetness; frozen peas are recommended.
Richness
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Use vegetable oil for a vegan alternative.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter until bubbly. Add a chopped medium onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for about 3–5 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  2. Next, add 2 cups of diced Russet potatoes to the pot, stirring briefly to combine them with the aromatic mixture. Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a rolling boil.
  3. Once boiling, cover and reduce heat to low, allowing it to simmer for 15–20 minutes until the potatoes are tender enough to pierce easily with a fork.
  4. Once the potatoes are tender, stir in 1 cup of heavy cream (or almond milk for a dairy-free option), followed by 1 cup each of sweet corn and peas.
  5. Allow the soup to cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring gently to incorporate all the ingredients.
  6. Finally, season your Amish Snow Day Soup with salt and pepper to taste, simmer for a few more minutes, then serve warm.
