Very Easy Vegetable Soup

[Daisy]

Ingredients (serve about 4)

1 very large sweet potato

2 medium parsnips

1 medium/large potato

1/2 onion

salt & pepper

parsley to garnish

Method

Put a couple of dessert spoons of cooking oil into a medium saucepan

Dice the onion, add to the saucepan and cook gently until just transparent

Dice all the other veggies and tip them into the saucepan and add enough (boiling) water to cover the vegetables

Season to taste

Bring to the boil and then turn down and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the veggies are soft

Blitz with a hand blender while adding squeezed orange juice plus the juice of half a lemon until it's the right consistency

Reheat and serve garnished with the parsley


I used boiling water to speed things up. I would have put a carrot in but I didn't have any!

Sounds lovely , don't tell me ive wasted my time buying a soup maker

[Daisy]

Qwerty, I've never used a soup maker but they seem very popular so I think they must be good. Gem swears by hers.

A chef told me you can always just use water to make soup, you get the flavour out of the vegetables anyway so don't really need stock cubes, and it seems to work.
