Ingredients
Knorr veg stock pot (see method)
5 carrots, washed quartered skin on
2 Leeks, Washed trimmed and sliced
3-5 sticks of Celery optional.
1 Whole Butternut Squash skinned deseeded and diced.
1 Red onion optional
1 Medium sweet potato washed skin on quartered
The following are what I add but are completely optional although I do recommend you use at least 1 of these.
Fresh or Frozen Spinach is added after the veg is cooked it will wilt into the soup.
Kale
Fresh Nettles (YouTube how to prepare)
Fennel (quarter)
Green cabbage.
Cauliflower leaves stem cut out.
Broccoli stem quartered or whole broccoli if you wish.
2 tbsp Mixed herbs.
1 tsp Ground black or white pepper.
Method.
Prepare veg into the biggest deepest saucepan you own and feel free to increase the volume of ingredients to match the size of the pan.
Add water to cover the veg and a Vegetable stock pot, 1 per 500ml of water.
Boil (with the lid on but lift it off slightly to vent the steam). When the hardest veg is tender (usually Carrot) Turn off the heat, this is a good time to add your spinach and/or Nettle.
Blend the lot with a stick blender.
SERVE Yum Yum.
