Delicious Hodge Podge Recipe - Authentic Canadian Dish

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups fresh green beans (trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 2 cups potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 1 cup carrots (sliced)
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and chop all the vegetables as specified in the ingredients.

    Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor.
  2. Cook Potatoes and Carrots

    In a large pot, add the diced potatoes and sliced carrots. Cover with water, bring to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes until slightly tender.

    Don't overcook the potatoes; they should hold their shape.
  3. Add Green Beans and Corn

    Add the green beans and corn to the pot. Stir in the vegetable broth and olive oil.

    Frozen corn can be added directly without thawing.
  4. Season the Mixture

    Sprinkle in the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

    Adjust seasoning according to your taste.
  5. Simmer and Add Milk

    Reduce heat to low and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes. Finally, pour in the milk and stir well.

    For a creamier texture, blend a portion of the mixture before adding the milk.
