Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 large potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup cauliflower florets
  • 1 cup pumpkin cubes
  • 2 cup vegetable broth or water
  • 2 tbsps butter or olive oil
  • ¼ cup milk or cream
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Optional: pinch of garlic powder or nutmeg

Equipment

  • Blender or food processor
  • Medium cooking pot
  • Knife and chopping board
  • Spoon or spatula

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash, peel, and chop all vegetables into small equal-sized pieces. This helps them cook evenly and blend smoothly.

  2. Cook Until Tender

    Add carrots, potato, cauliflower, and pumpkin into a medium pot. Pour in vegetable broth or water.
    Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15–20 minutes or until all vegetables become very soft.

  3. Drain and Reserve Liquid

    Carefully drain the vegetables, but keep some cooking liquid aside. The reserved liquid helps adjust the puree consistency later.

  4. Blend the Puree

    Transfer cooked vegetables into a blender or food processor.
    Add:
    Blend until silky smooth.
    If the puree is too thick, slowly add reserved cooking liquid until you reach the desired creamy consistency.
