Vegtable Soup - PV
So today i made a winter vegtable soup which was amazinly filling and warm and lovely =] James is off paintballing tomorrow so he’s taking most of it in a flask for lunch, hopefully there will be some left over for my lunch though =p
Ingrediants:
2 parsnips peeled and chunked
4 carrots peeled and chuncked
1/2 swede chunked
- any other vegtables you fancy i put broccolli in mine
2 med leek sliced
1 med onion sliced
pepper to taste
stock made to 1 litre – i used bullion
Method
put fry light in large pan and add the leek and onion fry gently on medium heat for a couple of minutes till they just begin to soften then throw in all the other veg and put a lid on, turn the heat right down and let the veg sweat for 10 mins stirring occasionally.
Add stock and seasonings bring to a steady simmer cover and leave to cook till all veg soft (30 – 40 minutes) add more boiling water if required and skim any frothy gunge.
Finishing
If you want chunky soup then chop the veg initially to a fairly even small dice. I like it smooth so I use a blender or for a medium texture just use a potato masher to break down the lumps.
