Ingredients to make chard cream:
1. To start preparing the chard cream we clean all the vegetables, peel the carrot, chop it and add it to the pot. We also cut the leek and add it. Since what we are going to do is cook all vegetables, it is not necessary to cut them into small pieces but it is important that everyone is more or less equal.
Trick: As a trick to make the chard cream faster, we recommend heating the water before and starting to add the vegetables to the pot with the already hot water.
2. We now cut the onion and zucchini and add them to the pot. In addition, we peel the potato, chop it and introduce it. We are going to make the chard cream in express pot, but it can also be done in conventional pot following these same steps. When you have to close the pot, we explain how to proceed depending on the type of casserole.
3. Add the water if we have not done it before. We remember that to accelerate the process it is better to heat the water in advance. Likewise, we incorporate salt to taste.
4. We clean the chard, add them to the pot and close it. If we use express pot and have heated the water in advance, with 10 minutes it will be more than enough. Now, if we have added cold water, we will have to let the vegetables cook for 20 minutes over medium heat. On the other hand, in case of using a conventional pot, the cooking time is greater, around 30 minutes if we have not heated the water before.
5. When the vegetables are cooked, we cast them and reserve the broth obtained, since to make the puree of chard it is not necessary to use everything. In this way, in addition, we will have a delicious and ideal homemade vegetable broth for other recipes, such as a rice with vegetables.
6. We crush the vegetables adding broth based on whether we like the cream more or less thick. We have opted for a light acceas cream, but if you do not mind adding some calories you can now add a couple of cheeses, especially if the dish will eat children, since they provide an extra flavor that they love. Thus, there are those who add some cream of milk also in this step.
Trick: If what you want is to enjoy an chard soup, you can always leave the vegetables without crushing and serve the plate with broth to taste.
7. Praise! We only have to heat the dish to enjoy it very hot and accompany it with what we like best. A good option is to cook chickpeas and add them to mash, the combination is exquisite and very healthy. Now that you know the vegan and easy chard cream recipe, do not hesitate to experiment by adding or modifying ingredients. For example, we have made chard and leeks, but you can also make chard and spinach cream, since the process and cooking time are the same.
