Ingredients

• 250 grams broccoli florets
• 200 grams carrots
• 250 grams cauliflower florets
• 150 grams zucchini
• 200 milliliters low-fat milk
• 500 milliliters vegetable broth
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 medium onion
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing all the vegetables thoroughly.

Step 2

Peel the carrots and onion. Dice the onion and slice the carrots into thin rounds.

Step 3

Chop the broccoli and cauliflower into smaller florets if they are not already bite-sized.

Step 4

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and zucchini to the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the vegetables simmer for about 20 minutes or until they are tender.

Step 7

Once the vegetables are soft, remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the vegetables directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the contents to a blender in batches and puree until smooth. Be careful with hot liquids when blending.

Step 8

Return the puree to the pot over low heat, stir in the low-fat milk, and add salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Step 9

Continue to heat gently, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Avoid boiling to prevent curdling.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with freshly cracked black pepper or chopped herbs if desired.
