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

Directions

Step 1

1. Start by preparing all the vegetables. Peel the carrots and potatoes, then chop them into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

3. Add the chopped carrots, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, and diced potato to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the oil.

Step 4

4. Pour in the unsalted vegetable broth, ensuring all the vegetables are submerged in the liquid. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

7. Blend the vegetables until you achieve a smooth puree. For an extra creamy texture, add the low-fat cream while blending.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.
