Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Carrots
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 cup Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Cauliflower florets
- 1 Garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
Instructions
Peel and dice the carrots and potatoes into small, even pieces. Slice the zucchini into rounds.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced carrots, potatoes, and zucchini to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the oil.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the broccoli and cauliflower florets to the pot. Stir to combine, cover again, and let it simmer for another 15 minutes or until all vegetables are tender.
Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the mixture in batches to a blender and puree until smooth.
Return the puree to the pot over low heat. Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Heat the puree gently, stirring occasionally, until warmed through but not boiling. Serve hot as a side dish or a soup base.
