Vegetable Soup Page 92
This soup became tasty but only because I added 2 generous heaped teaspoons of my vegetable stock paste (page 62) I tasted it before adding any further seasoning which was not needed after my stock paste did the trick. The recipe does not include a stock in the ingredients which it very much needed. I sautéed the onion and garlic with the butter to start with which also adds to the taste. I decided not to blend the soup as I thought that chunky bits would be better rather than a thick pulp. The potato element had thickened the sauce part anyway. All in all I was happy with the finished soup. It made a very good lunch as the main course. I can see this being made often.

This is a great soup and so simple to make.I've made it a few times now with vegetables I can scrounge out of the fridge to make up the 400g needed.
Like DD said it definitely needs a dollop of vegetable stock paste to enhance the flavour.I did blend mine. :)
