This recipe is very versatile and can be made with any kind of vegetables. This is the combination we enjoy most at home, but it's also delicious without potatoes and carrots—just note that the consistency may change.

Steps

1 hour (including cooking time)

1

Peel and chop all the vegetables, then place them in a large pot or saucepan.
2

Add water to the pot (do not cover the vegetables completely) and cook over high heat with the lid on for about 45 minutes, until all the vegetables are very soft.
3

Add the vegetable bouillon cube and stir.
4

Stir occasionally so all the vegetables cook evenly and don't stick to the bottom.
5

Make sure the water doesn't evaporate too much; it's important to have enough water (almost up to the level of the vegetables, but not covering them).
6

When all the vegetables are soft, remove the pot from the heat.
7

Pour off the excess water and set it aside (this will be your broth). If you blend with too much water, the soup will be too thin. It's better to remove almost all the water and leave the vegetables nearly dry.
8

Blend the vegetables until smooth and creamy. If you removed too much water, add some of the reserved broth back in a little at a time until you reach your desired texture.
You'll probably have leftover broth. I usually store it in a jar and freeze it for other recipes.
9

Add salt to taste and the creamy cheese wedges, then blend again until everything is well mixed. The soup is now ready to serve.
10

Add a little salt to the leftover broth and it's ready to use. You can top it with chopped hard-boiled egg or diced cured ham for extra flavor.
