Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Fresh carrots
- 200 grams Broccoli florets
- 200 grams Cauliflower florets
- 1 large, peeled and diced Potato
- 500 milliliters Unsalted vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 medium, chopped Onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 100 milliliters Low-fat cream
Instructions
1. Start by preparing all the vegetables. Peel the carrots and potatoes, then chop them into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
2. In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once heated, sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion until the onion becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the chopped carrots, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, and diced potato to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the oil.
4. Pour in the unsalted vegetable broth, ensuring all the vegetables are submerged in the liquid. Bring the mixture to a boil.
5. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer the vegetables for about 20 minutes or until they are very tender.
6. Remove the pot from the heat. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked vegetables to a blender. Add a portion of the cooking liquid for easier blending, keeping in mind the desired consistency.
7. Blend the vegetables until you achieve a smooth puree. For an extra creamy texture, add the low-fat cream while blending.
8. Return the puree to the pot, warming it over low heat. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Stir in the fresh parsley just before serving for a hint of freshness.
9. Serve the sugar-free creamy vegetable puree hot, enjoying it as a nutritious meal on its own or as an accompaniment to your favorite main dish.
