Hodge Podge

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.

In a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat, add vegetables, and cook to warm through.

Add milk and cream and bring the soup to a boil.

Turn the heat down to low and season with salt and pepper.

Add dill and chives and let simmer for at least 10 minutes.

Serve warm.
