- In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 medium diced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, stirring frequently until fragrant and slightly translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in 2 diced medium carrots and 2 diced medium potatoes, sautéing for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the vegetables and mix well until coated. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in 4 cups of vegetable broth, bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, stirring continuously.
- Add 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat to low and let simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.

Notes
To achieve the ideal creamy texture, simmer longer or add an extra tablespoon of flour. Ensure low heat when incorporating cream to prevent curdling.
