Ingredients for making simple cassava broth:

 1 medium cassava (500 g)

 1 onion

 2 garlic cloves

 1 big carrot

 ½ leeks

 2 tablespoons of oil or olive oil

 1 liter of water or vegetable broth

 1 tablespoon of salt

 chopped chives to taste

How to make simple cassava broth:

Peel the manioc and cut it into pieces so it will cook faster. Do the same with the carrots, onion and garlic and cut the leeks into slices.

Tip: if your cassava is not fresh, don't forget to remove the fiber from the middle, which is hard and will harm the creamy consistency of this broth.

In another pan with the oil or olive oil, saute the chopped onion and garlic for 1-2 minutes over medium-low heat. Add the leeks, mix and cook for another 1 minute.

Add the carrots and cassava to the pan and mix. Leave it on the fire for another 1-2 minutes, so the vegetables "sweat out" and you get a tastier soup!

Add 1 liter of water or vegetable broth and salt. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes in a pot or 20 minutes in a pressure cooker.

Tip: the water should be enough to cover all the vegetables. If not, add some more.

To find out if the simple cassava broth is ready, chop one of the cassava pieces with a fork or knife: if the cassava is still hard, let the soup boil for another 10-15 minutes.

If the cassava falls apart easily, it means that all the vegetables are cooked! Grind the cassava broth with a hand mixer directly in the pan until smooth or, if you prefer, let it cool a little and blend in a blender.

Tip: if the cassava broth is too thick before or after beating, add a little water.

Serve your simple cassava broth, then sprinkled with chopped chives and accompany it with, for example, toast seasoned with oregano and cheese. Simply delicious!
