The beauty of vegetable puree lies in its practicality. What better way to use up wilted vegetables than to throw them into a pot to simmer? Almost any vegetable can be dipped in vegetable puree soup, which prevents wastage and thus saves money.
In this recipe, potato, carrot, cauliflower and onion are put in the pot, but as stated, the ingredients can and should be modified according to what vegetables you happen to find in the cupboard. Tomatoes, peppers, sweet potatoes, broccoli and, for example, parsnips are also perfect for the soup.
