• Add a pinch of salt and pepper and then bring the stock to a simmer and cover with lid. Once the ingredients have become soft (after approx. 20 mins) pour the ingredients into a blender or use a hand blender.
• Tip - For a creamer soup add cream or a couple of potatoes (bear in mind, potatoes will take longer to cook, so consider part boiling them before adding into the soup pot). This soup can also be frozen.
