Soup glorious souppp!

Use this as a base to make any sort of soup you want!

Ingredients:

1 chicken stock cube

1 vegetable stock cube

2 big onions

Garlic

Pepper

Olive oil

Butter

1 potato

Mixed herbs

An assortment of vegetables – either carrots or mushrooms or leek and potato, any mix you like!

Method:

1.  Cut the onions into medium sized squares and finely chop garlic

2. Cook in a decent amount of olive oil and add a knob of butter.

3. Sprinkle over pepper, mixed herbs and mild chilli powder or paprika. (Dont add salt as there is plenty in the stock cubes)

4. Cook on a low heat for 5-10 minutes until soft.

5. Slice potato and all remaining vegetables and then add to the onions, stirring so that everything is covered in the herbs and oil.

6. Sauté for a couple of minutes.

7. Place both stock cubes in a large jug and add boiling water to dissolve.

8. Add stock to the vegetables so that all vegetables are just submerged and cover with lid.

9. Turn down the heat and leave to simmer for 20 minutes or until all vegetables are soft.

10.  Leave to cool and then blend.

- If you have used carrots add coriander to season before blending.

- If you use mushrooms you will need a lot as they shrink loads when cooked and do not use a potato, instead use an extra onion.

- Spinach soup and brocolli and stilton are also yummm!
