Hodge Podge

Ingredients

• 1 lb New Potatoes
• 1 lb Carrots
• 1 cup Green Beans
• 1/2 cup Peas
• 1 tablespoon Dill
• 1 tablespoon Chives
• 3 Cups Milk
• 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
• 1/2 cup Butter
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Method

1. First, cook your vegetables. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Par-cook carrots and potatoes for five minutes until carrots and potatoes are fork tender, then blanch the peas and beans for about a minute in the same pot. Strain vegetables and set aside.
2. In a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat, add vegetables, and cook to warm through.
3. Add milk and cream and bring the soup to a boil. Turn the heat down to low and season with salt and pepper.
4. Add dill and chives and let simmer for at least 10 minutes. Serve warm.
