A simple, nourishing recipe designed for gentle digestion, featuring low-fiber soft foods that are easy on the stomach and comforting to eat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large potato, peeled and diced (about 200g / 7 oz)
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped (about 100g / 3.5 oz)
  • 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese (120g)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth, low sodium (120ml / 1/2 cup)
  • 1 tsp olive oil (5ml)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional, about 1 tbsp)

Instructions

  1. Peel the potato and carrot, then dice them into evenly sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces).
  2. Place the diced potatoes and carrots in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until both vegetables are very soft, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Drain the vegetables carefully and set aside to cool for a few minutes.
  4. Transfer the cooked vegetables to your blender or food processor. Add the cottage cheese, chicken broth, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping the sides once or twice to incorporate evenly.
  6. If the mixture is too thick, add more chicken broth a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Pour into a bowl and garnish with finely chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm or cool.

Notes

Use almond milk or mild non-dairy milk instead of chicken broth for vegetarian options. For lactose-free, substitute cottage cheese with silken tofu blended smooth. Small-curd cottage cheese is preferred for smooth texture. Avoid overboiling to preserve flavor and nutrients. Blend in batches if needed for smoothness. Serve warm but not hot for best digestion. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 3 days or freeze up to 1 month.
