Vegetable Soup

OK I have a really really good one for vegetable soup.....

I make this without a recipe - I made it up so the quantities may vary a bit sorry! But for about 4-6 people:

Ingredients

• butter/oil
• Big pot/pan
• Hand Blender/blender/really good masher and mashing technique
• dried herbs (provenciale are good!)
• water
• 2 vegetable oxo cubes
• salt and pepper
• 2 med-large onions
• 5 potatoes
• 4 carrots
• and some kind of green vegetables (brocoli, cabbage, leek) - whatever you want really! Just do about the same amount of vegetables for each person as they'd eat with a meal.

Method

1. Ok take a large pan/casserole dish (with big sides) and peel and chop up the onions.
2. Sautee (fry lightly) the onions in the pan with quite a bit of butter/oil.
3. Peel and chop the other vegetables into little cubes and add them to the onions.
4. Wait for them to brown slightly and then add water - add just enough so that it's nearly covering all the vegetables.
5. Add the oxo cubes, salt and pepoer and about 2 tsps of the herbs and bring to the boil. Once boiling turn it down and leave to simmer for a while (if you have a lid for the pan put it on - it will take less time)
6. Check that the vegetables are cooked - they should be really soft (poke them with a knife or something)
7. Get a hand blender (these are probably best but you could tip the soup into a big blender or if you don't have one use a potato masher and mash very hard! (Tried and tested hehe) and just zzzz (blend) it a bit until it's the texture you want it to be (whatever your preferences are)
8. And voilà - there you go! This soup is magical honest!
