How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Wash the zucchini, leek, and potato well. Cut the zucchini into slices, the leek into thin slices, and the potato into small cubes, ensuring even pieces for uniform cooking.
2. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the leek for 5 minutes until tender and aromatic.
3. Add the zucchini and potato, mixing for 2 minutes to infuse flavors. Lightly sauté without browning.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth, cooking over medium-low heat for 15 minutes until vegetables are tender.
5. Puree the mixture until smooth and homogeneous. Strain for a finer texture if desired.
6. Add the liquid cream, adjusting salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to integrate flavors and heat thoroughly.
7. Serve hot in bowls, garnished with olive oil, fresh parsley, or crispy croutons for added flavor and texture.
