Notes
- Cut all the vegetables evenly, in to small pieces so that they will cook quickly. Big chunky bits of vegetables will take much longer to cook, especially the root vegetables.
- You don't have to peel the carrots and potatoes. It will save time and add fibre.
- Add some croutons on top for some extra crunch.
- Spice this soup up a little with a sprinkling of red chilli flakes before serving or even adding some curry powder at the same time as the vegetables.
- If you are making this soup for young children, then use a low salt stock.
- If blending this in a jug blender, allow to mostly cool first, so the heat doesn't crack the blender.
- You can make this more of a filling soup by stirring in a can of chickpeas.
- A little bit of grated cheddar, crumbled stilton or Parmesan shavings on top finishes this perfectly.
