The recipe I’d been using for winter vegetable soup, which is a favourite of the kids, suddenly disappeared 😱<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In scenes reminiscent of George’s Marvellous Medicine, I tried to recreate the soup from memory. Here’s the recipe I’ve now immortalised. This can be adjusted according to taste so don’t worry if you’re a few grams short on potato or a little heavier on the carrots. I’d already adapted the original slightly as it was too parsnipy for our liking. This is really easy and pretty quick to make. <\/p>\n\n\n

    1.<\/strong> Melt the butter in a high sided pan\/casserole dish, add the leeks and onion and gently heat until softened. This should take approximately five minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2.<\/strong> Peel and very roughly chop the carrots, parsnips and potato if using a food processor (which I’d recommend) or chop smaller if not. I still use my trusty 13-year-old Babycook<\/a> for this! <\/p>\n\n\n
