In a large stockpot, melt butter over medium heat.
Whisk in the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to form a light roux. Do not let it brown.
Slowly add the chicken broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the whole milk and heavy cream, maintaining a gentle simmer. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
Add the diced carrots, celery, and onion to the pot. Cover and let simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the frozen peas and corn, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until heated through.
Season with salt, black pepper, and dried parsley, adjusting to taste.
Serve hot with a slice of crusty bread or your favorite crackers. Enjoy!
