Creamy Vegetable Potage

Kitchen Princess is a manga by Natsumi Ando and Miyuki Kobayashi in which every chapter is named after a dish. This is our own quick, family-friendly version of that dish, not the recipe from the book.

Potage is the French word for a thick soup, and creamy potages are a café favorite in Japan. Frozen vegetables are picked and frozen at their best, so they are perfect here.

Make it a learning moment: the color of the soup depends on the vegetables. Guess what color you’ll get before blending.
