Creamy Carrot Puree

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

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

Puree the mixture very finely with an immersion blender. For an exceptionally smooth result, then pass the puree through a fine sieve into a clean pot.
