Veggie cream soup

Hey there, let's make a super yummy cream of veggie soup! It's a great way to use up those leftover veggies and make something warm and cozy.

What you'll need:

  • About 2 cups of leftover cooked veggies (like carrots, potatoes, broccoli, peas, or anything you have!)

  • 2 cups of vegetable broth (or chicken broth if you like)

  • 1/2 cup of milk or cream (or a milk alternative like oat milk or almond milk)

  • 1 tablespoon of butter or oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional: a little bit of cheese, herbs, or croutons for topping

Let's get cooking!

  1. Blend it up: If your veggies are chunky, put them in a blender with 1 cup of the broth. Blend until it's nice and smooth! If your veggies are already very soft, you can skip this step.

  2. Heat it up: Put the butter or oil in a pot on the stove and turn the heat to medium.

  3. Pour it in: Pour the blended veggies (or your leftover veggies) and the rest of the broth into the pot.

  4. Add the milk: Pour in the milk or cream and stir it all together.

  5. Warm it up: Let the soup heat up until it's nice and warm, but don't let it boil!

  6. Season it: Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other spices if you like.

  7. Serve it up: Pour the soup into bowls.

  8. Top it off: If you want, you can add a little bit of cheese, some fresh herbs, or some crunchy croutons on top.

  9. Enjoy!

Tips and Tricks:

  • If you want a thicker soup, you can add a little bit of flour or cornstarch mixed with water.

  • You can use any kind of veggies you like!

  • If you do not have a blender, you can mash your vegetables with a potato masher, or fork, for a more rustic texture.

Have fun making your yummy cream of veggie soup!
