Recipe Box: Root Vegetable Soup

Hi there!

I made a huge pot of soup as I have a run of night shifts this week and it gets pretty chilly in our over-air-conditioned ice box of a suite! The very simple recipe below is enough for around 4-6 bowls.

Ingredients

1-2 tablespoons oil

750g carrots, peeled and chopped into chunks

2 large potatoes, peeled and chopped into chunks

2 onions, chopped into chunks

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

900ml stock (chicken or vegetable)

Salt and freshly ground pepper

To the kitchen!

• Heat the oil in a large pan.
• Add all of the vegetables and toss well, coating them in oil to prevent them sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• Sprinkle turmeric and turn the vegetables to coat.
• Add the stock, bring the soup to boil and cover and simmer for 25 minutes.
• If you like your soup to be smooth, stick it into the food processor for 15 seconds. If you prefer your soup chunkier (like me!) mash it with a fork to break the vegetable chunks up nicely :)
• Season to taste and voila! You have yourself a tasty yet filling soup.
