Super Vegetable Soup

Super Vegetable Soup

I’m not a fan of recipes, simply because I like to be a little creative and find it hard to stick rigidly to a recipe.

Unsurprisingly things don’t always work out as they should, but they still end up tasting great.

For lunch I made a Super Vegetable Soup.

It’s super because:

  • I use all organic ingredients
  • It’s packed full of vitamins, minerals and hearty goodness
  • It’s really quick to make
  • I make it using only one pan
  • It’s great value for a fresh and nutritious meal that feeds 6 people
  • I chop the vegetables roughly because they’re blended with a Hand Blender

This soup is perfect for anyone wanting an easy, quick, healthy and filling meal to feed their family.

Organic Ingredients:

  • 1 small Red Onion
  • 2 cloves of Garlic
  • 2 Leeks
  • 2 Carrots
  • 6 New Potatoes
  • Half a Buttnernut Squash
  • 2 large handfuls of Kale
  • A splash of cream can be added to taste when serving

How I make it:

  • Chop onion, garlic, leeks and saute in a large pan. When sauteed I transfer these into a bowl whilst I prepare the remaining vegetables.
  • Chop the carrots, potatoes and butternut squash into small cubes and add water to just cover the vegetables. Boil until cooked.
  • Wash and chop the kale and add to the pan of boiling vegetables. Cook for 2 minutes.
  • Blend the vegetables in the pan using a Hand Blender.

And there it is, cooked and ready to eat!

I don’t add salt or pepper when cooking the soup so it’s suitable for my baby to eat.

Pepper and salt can be added to suit individual tastes when serving. Add a splash of cream if desired.

Serve the soup with warm crusty bread.
