Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
In a large pot, add the potatoes, sliced carrots, celery, and chopped onion.
Stir in the minced garlic, taking care to evenly distribute it among the vegetables.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the chopped thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, black pepper, and salt.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
Add the frozen green peas to the pot and stir.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water until smooth, creating a slurry.
