  • Add 2 cups of water to the pan.
  • Bring it to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes until all vegetables are soft.
  • Remove all the boiled vegetables by draining the water in a separate cup dont throw it away you might need in the next step. 
  • Puree the drained vegetables in a blender until it’s nice and smooth.
  • In a pan add 2 tablespoon of butter, pureed vegetables and then add the drained water as well let it boil for another 10 mins in medium heat.
  • Season with salt and pepper accordingly to your taste.
  • I prefer to just serve it with a dollop of sour cream and some crusty bread.
