INSTRUCTIONS
Heat butter in a large pot over medium high heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes or until the onions are translucent. Reduce to medium heat. Add garlic, oregano, and thyme and cook for another minute, stirring frequently. Then add flour and stir to coat veggies. Cook for one more minute, stirring frequently. Add a hearty pour of veggie broth to deglaze the pot, scraping the yummy bits off the bottom. Stir in diced potatoes, corn, broccoli, and remaining veggie broth, along with a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Simmer covered for 10-12 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender. Stir occasionally to prevent potatoes from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Remove soup from heat. Stir in heavy cream, shredded cheese, and vinegar. Garnish with parsley and crackers.
