Root Vegetable Soup

Peel and chop all the vegetables

Heat a little oil in a large saucepan

Add the onion and gently fry until soft

Add the vegetable one at a time and stir through so they are all coated in the oil.

Add the mixed herbs and stir through

Slowly add the vegetable stock

Add salt & pepper to taste

Cover and bring to the boil. Turn down to a simmer and cook for about 30mins or until all the vegetables are cooked.

If you have a hand blender use this to blitz the vegetables to make a soup like consistency. If you want to leave a few lumps, thats fine. If you do not have a hand blender but have a table top blender, gradually add the mixture and blend until you have the consistency you want. If you have neither of these, use a potato masher and mash the vegetable down until you have a soupy consistency.
