Ingredient Notes
Overhead shot of ingredients for Creamy Vegetable Soup.
Olive Oil: Substitute with any neutral cooking oil, such as vegetable or canola oil.
Garlic: Freshly minced garlic provides the best flavor, but jarred minced garlic works in a pinch.
Onion: Use a white or yellow onion. Dice it into small pieces.
Carrots: Baby carrots work too, just cut them into smaller pieces for even cooking.
Corn: We love the convenience and taste of frozen corn kernels, though you can always use canned.
Broccoli: You can use fresh or frozen. No need to thaw.
Green Beans: We love fresh or frozen vegetables. Pre-cut vegetables are a great option.
Mushrooms: White button or the brown cremini mushrooms both work. For the best texture, use fresh mushrooms.
Vegetable Broth: Adds extra flavor. You can use vegetable broth or chicken broth.
Milk: We use whole milk for an extra creamy soup, but you can also use 2%.
Vegetable Options
Pressed for time? Most grocery stores sell pre-cut veggies, which will essentially eliminate the prep time for this meal. You can also use frozen veggies. They’re already diced or peeled and ready to go.

If you prefer fresh veggies but want to speed things up, try using a food processor to quickly chop onions, celery, and carrots. For mushrooms, you can often find pre-sliced options at the store. Whether fresh or frozen, this soup is super forgiving, so mix and match based on what you have on hand.

Add a Protein
While we think this soup is practically perfect, you might really love the addition of some meat in your soup, and that is totally okay! You can easily add cooked, shredded chicken or turkey to this soup. Keep it simple, and add in a shredded rotisserie chicken.

Adjusting Consistency
Want a thicker soup? Let it simmer a little longer to reduce, or mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it in. You can also blend a portion of the soup and stir it back in for a creamy texture without extra thickeners.

Serving Suggestions
This soup is hearty enough to stand on its own, but let’s be honest—everything is better with a little something on the side. A warm, crusty bread or some soft dinner rolls are perfect for soaking up all that creamy goodness. Want to take it up a notch? Garlic bread is always a winner. You can’t go wrong with a grilled cheese either.
