00:00Do you know how to make the perfect vegetable puree?
00:03Well, I'll explain it to you, because there are a few tricks to it.
00:08Hello! Do you like tasty ideas?
00:11Of course you do!
00:12Well, today I'm going to teach you how to make, in a foolproof way, the best vegetable puree.
00:19Start with whichever vegetables you like.
00:21Today I'm going to add a leek, which as you can see, I chop very, very finely.
00:28And I add it to a pot in which I pour a splash of good oil.
00:32In goes the leek!
00:34While everything is heating up over medium or even slightly lower heat, I'm going to chop two celery stalks.
00:41It's interesting to mix vegetables, preferably of the same color, that is pumpkin with carrot,
00:47or these that are green with others that are also green.
00:50That way the flavor is balanced.
00:53We also always add an onion.
00:55And you have to do this little trick.
00:58Make sure it's very finely chopped, so it releases all its flavor.
01:03In it goes too.
01:05And now comes a bit of magic.
01:07Because it's not just about boiling the vegetables.
01:09There's a little trick to it.
01:11You have to add four cloves of garlic, or five if you really like it.
01:15But don't chop them.
01:16And we add.
01:17And you also have to add some flavor.
01:20How?
01:21Well, by seasoning.
01:22First with pepper.
01:24Black pepper, yes.
01:25Just like that.
01:26Freshly ground to really enhance the flavor.
01:28Along with a touch of salt.
01:31As always, to your taste.
01:33I also like to add a good amount of sweet paprika, which goes great with it.
01:39We mix and cook, but make sure to cover the vegetables for a few minutes.
01:46You know, cook them longer if you want a really strong vegetable flavor.
01:50And if you want a milder taste, just a few minutes.
01:53When they're cooked to your liking, add a potato.
01:56This is optional, but I like to add a potato cut into chunks by snapping each piece off to improve
02:02the texture.
02:02And then a good broth.
02:03If it's vegetable broth, even better.
02:06I'm going to add this one directly.
02:08A liter in.
02:10We give it a few stirs, and now we're going to cook it until the potato starts getting soft.
02:14Depending on the type of potato, it will take a little more or a little less time.
02:19If you want to speed things up, you know, chop the potato into small pieces.
02:23And if you can break it instead of cutting it all the way, even better.
02:27Because it'll release more starch and give the soup more body.
02:30Once you have it, it's time to blend it.
02:32Put it in your blender jar or countertop blender, or do it like this with a hand blender directly in
02:38the pot.
02:39With a little patience so the texture turns out really smooth.
02:43If you like it chunky, you know what to do.
02:45You just have to blend it for less time.
02:48Once you have it, decorate however you like on a nice plate and enjoy.
02:54I like to add a little bit of oil, a few drops of evaporated milk, and a couple of toasted
03:00bread slices.
03:04Look, look, look, look, look!
03:07Oh, it looks so good!
03:09Tasty, creamy.
03:10Smooth, and you can add certain touches to make it an even more amazing dish.
03:16This is made for big spoonfuls.
03:18So tasty!
03:21There, how great it is to prepare healthy things, and how great it is that, on top of that, they're
03:26delicious.
03:27And since we're having a little heart-to-heart, I hope you'll tell me down here in the comments which
03:32healthy recipe you love.
03:34That way, we all learn together to take care of ourselves a little bit.
