***Important*** 

The next step is about pureeing the mixture and you don’t want to get burned OK?  Ensure the mixture has cooled off a bit.

Now you can puree the vegetable mixture in a food processor or with a blender – or you can go old school and push through a sieve.

Add the cream, pop back on the heat in the saucepan to a gentle simmer.

Add Salt & Pepper – taste – add more Salt & Pepper if req.
