# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Heat butter or olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent.
02 - Add diced carrots and potatoes to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
03 - Sprinkle all-purpose flour evenly over the vegetables and stir thoroughly to coat, cooking for an additional minute.
04 - Gradually whisk in vegetable broth, ensuring no lumps form. Add dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper, then bring to a simmer.
05 - Simmer the mixture for 15 minutes, until potatoes become tender.
06 - Stir in broccoli florets, peas, and corn kernels. Continue simmering for 5 to 7 minutes until vegetables are just tender.
07 - Pour in milk and optional heavy cream, stirring until the soup is creamy and thickened. Adjust seasoning as needed.
08 - Sprinkle fresh parsley over the soup and serve hot.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For a vegan variation, replace butter with olive oil, use plant-based milk alternatives, and omit heavy cream.
02 - Adjust vegetable broth quantity to achieve preferred soup consistency.
