Steam vegetables until they are soft, let them cool and then blend in a food processor until smooth and combined. Use immediately or freeze in ice cube trays for later use.
BOILING: Boiling the vegetables is fine but it will leave your puree less nutritious as the vitamins end up in the cooking water.
