leguminous, where as the a puree of poultry, game , fish, and shellfish
are more called coulis.
Purees of starchy vegetables or legumes include
beans, lentils, split peas, and others. These vegetables have enough

good purees is the proper cooking of the ingredients so they can be easily
blended. Among the classic purred soups are vichyssoise and leek.
