They are ready when you can
crush the vegetables easily with

the slower speed, and whiz until
they become a chunky cream,
adding salt and pepper to taste,
and the butter and/or cream

a little of the cooking water

Return to the saucepan, stir well

top, cover and reheat in a
microwave
These simple and inexpensive
ingredients make a great soup.
