Method
 

Preparation
  1. Sauté the diced onion, carrots, and celery in olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until softened, then add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  2. Stir in the vegetable broth, diced potatoes, dried thyme, and bay leaf; bring to a boil, then simmer until potatoes are tender.
  3. Whisk together flour and milk until smooth, then gradually whisk this mixture into the simmering soup to thicken it.
  4. Add the frozen peas, corn, and chopped spinach to the pot; cook until heated through and the spinach has wilted, then remove the bay leaf.
  5. Season the soup with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste before serving hot.

Notes

Serve hot with a side of crusty bread or a sprinkle of fresh parsley. For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
