- Add potatoes and just enough water to cover and boil for five minutes.
- Add carrots, boil another five minutes.
- Add peas for another 3-5 minutes- taste & watch.
- Add green beans for another 2-3 minues.
- Drain, and save water, set veggies aside, put the water back in the pot.
- Boil down cooking water until it's about half.
- Add cream & boil until it thickens.
- Add veggies back in & heat through. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and maybe a knob of butter.
