When all vegetables are ready let them cool down a bit before blending with the milk to obtain a puree consistency.

Be careful! When putting hot ingredients in the blender; remove the lid insert or removable center cap and cover the open cap hole with a clean dish towel or cloth instead. This will allow the release of steam without making any mess.

In a large pot melt butter and add the vegetables mixture. Let cook for approximately 10 minutes at low temperature, stir frequently to release pockets of hot air.

Season with vegetable or chicken broth mix, salt and pepper.

Enjoy with baked soup crackers!
