Cream of vegetables

for 4
Ingredients:

• • 1 onion, coarsely chopped
  • 4 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2-3 sticks of celery chopped
  • 1 medium potato, coarsely chopped
  • 4 cups coarsely chopped lettuce or spinach or swiss chard
  • bunch of parsley or cilantro
  • salt, oil, pepper

• water

Preparation:

1. In a large pot heat oil over medium-high heat, add the onion and fry until transparent about 5 minutes, add the carrot and celery, sauté 3 minutes more, add the lettuce/spinach/ swiss chard and stir for 1 minute. Add salt and pepper.
2. Add cold water, about 3-4 cups, it is not necessary that the vegetables are submerged, only make sure that the pot does not dry out.
3. Once it begins to boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 10 minutes until carrots and potatoes are cooked and can pass through easily with a fork, puree in the blender slowly (start with just a cup and keep adding the rest little by little) or puree with a stick blender in the pot.
4. Test, adjust the seasoning.
5. You should get a very thick cream, dilute with water to the consistency you like and always re-adjust the seasoning.
