Creamy Carrot Puree

Peel the carrots and cut them into coarse cubes. Place them in a pot with the vegetable broth, butter, and a pinch of salt, then bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat and simmer the carrots until they are soft and the liquid has almost completely reduced to a syrupy consistency.

Finely puree the mixture with an immersion blender and, for an exceptionally smooth result, pass it through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean pot.
