Corn velouté soup (from my cookbook)

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: coconut milk

💰Cheaper: milk

Coconut milk adds creaminess with fewer calories.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil provides healthy fats and is often more affordable.

potatoes

🥗Healthier: cauliflower

💰Cheaper: sweet potatoes

Cauliflower lowers carbs while adding creaminess.

vegetable stock

🥗Healthier: homemade broth

💰Cheaper: water

Homemade broth enhances flavor without extra cost.

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat until foamy.

Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in diced potatoes and corn; cook for 3-4 minutes.

Pour in vegetable stock and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

Blend the mixture until smooth using an immersion blender or regular blender.

Stir in cream, salt, and white pepper; heat gently without boiling.

Serve hot, garnished with chopped chives.
