Course: Lunch, Soup
Cuisine: Family Food
Servings: 4
- 1 Onion Peeled and chopped
- 150 g Celery Peeled and chopped
- 300 g Carrots Peeled and chopped
- 500 g Parsnips Peeled and chopped
- 3 Leeks Peeled and chopped
- 2 Stock cubes
- 600 ml Water
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
To finish:
- 150 ml Single cream
- 15 g Fresh flat leaf parsley
Put the slow cook ingredients into the slow cooker. Cook for 4-6 hours on HIGH or 8-10 hours on LOW.
When the vegetables are very soft and tender, remove a couple of ladles full of the vegetables and set aside. Add the parsley and the cream to the remaining soup and blend until very smooth.
Add the reserved vegetables back to the soup and serve.
Season well: Do check for seasoning as this needs plenty of salt and pepper!
For chunky soup: I save some vegetables unblended and add them back in at the end to give the soup some texture, but you could blend everything if you prefer it smooth.
