Vegetable soup-puree on chicken broth

4 servings

35 minutes

Vegetable cream soup on chicken broth is a harmonious blend of rich chicken broth and tender, velvety vegetables. The origins of such a dish can be found in European cuisine, where the traditions of creamy soups are valued for their refined taste and nutrition. Thanks to the use of chicken broth, the soup acquires a soft, warming hue, while cream adds tenderness. White pepper gives a slight spiciness, and butter completes the composition with a velvety texture. This versatile dish is suitable for both a light lunch and dinner; it can be served with crispy bread or herbs for freshness. Such soup is an ideal choice on a cool day; it brings coziness and warmth while filling the home with the aroma of home cooking.
