- You can use cooked turkey ham if you prefer.
- We also take advantage and fry some slices of old bread.
- We will use this to give consistency to the creams without the need to use milk cream or cream.
- Once the vegetables are cooked, we crush them in two different glasses so as not to mix the two creams.
- On the one hand the carrot and pumpkin and on the other hand the leek and zucchini, we also add the fried bread to each of the preparations.
