Experience the rich, hearty flavors of traditional French cuisine in a comforting bowl of Crème de Légumes tonight.

1

Start by cleaning and peeling the carrots and potato. Chop them into small, even pieces.

2

Wash the celery and chop it finely, as well as the onion.

3

In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent and fragrant.

4

Add the chopped carrots, potato, and celery to the pot, stirring well. Sauté the vegetables for an additional 5 minutes.

5

Pour in the vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot.

6

Let it simmer for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.

7

Once the vegetables are cooked, remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth. If you don’t have one, transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender.

8

Return the smooth mixture to the pot, and stir in 200 milliliters of cream. Heat gently and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

9

Serve warm, and enjoy this delightful dish straight from the heart of French culinary tradition.
