Vegetable puree soup is a delicate and aromatic dish of European cuisine that warms and nourishes. The origins of such soup date back centuries when housewives sought to use simple and accessible ingredients to create hearty and healthy meals. This soup impresses with its velvety texture and balanced flavor, harmoniously combining the sweetness of carrots and turnips, the softness of potatoes, and the tenderness of leeks. The addition of rice gives the soup a light density, while milk adds a creamy touch. Green peas bring fresh notes and complement the overall picture. This soup is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, especially in cold weather. Serving it with croutons makes it even cozier and more appetizing.
