How to make creamy vegetable soup
- We are going to peel and cut all the vegetables in similar sizes.
- In a pot with boiling water add a little bit of coarse salt and add all the freshly cut vegetables. Note that the sizes are more or less similar, this is important because it will achieve that the cooking times are similar.
- Cover the pot and let it cook for about half an hour, or until the vegetables are well cooked. It depends on the size in which you have cut them.
- For my taste there was too much liquid left in the pot, so I removed 3 ladles in a separate bowl.
- Now with a mini blender we are going to mix all the ingredients. It should be a vegetable soup with a creamy consistency. If you want it to be a little more liquid, add a little of the liquid youremoved in the previous step and blend again.
- Serve in a bowl and add grated cheese. Serve with toast and enjoy.
