Ingredients

1 lb New Potatoes
1 lb Carrots
1 cup Green Beans
1/2 cup Peas
1 tablespoon Dill
1 tablespoon Chives
3 Cups Milk
70g Heavy Cream
30g Butter
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

Begin by cooking the vegetables. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the potatoes and carrots and parboil for about five minutes, until just tender. In the same pot, blanch the green beans and peas for around one minute. Drain all the vegetables and set aside.
In a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cooked vegetables and warm them through gently, stirring to coat.
Pour in the milk and cream and bring to the boil. Immediately reduce the heat to low and season with salt and black pepper.
Stir in the dill and chives and allow the mixture to simmer gently for at least 10 minutes.
Serve warm.

Tips

Use the freshest seasonal spring vegetables you can find for the best flavor.
Cook the vegetables in stages—starting with potatoes and carrots, and adding peas and beans at the end.
Use plenty of butter and heavy cream to create the signature rich, milky broth.
