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

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the carrots and potatoes into small, even pieces. Slice the zucchini into rounds.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the diced carrots, potatoes, and zucchini to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the oil.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Return the puree to the pot over low heat. Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 8

Heat the puree gently, stirring occasionally, until warmed through but not boiling. Serve hot as a side dish or a soup base.
