Difficulty: Easy
I made this soup today utilising ingredients from my fridge - it really took no time at all and was rather delicious.
We served this with hot, buttery corn on the cob and freshly baked mini baguettes with oozing, creamy Somerset Brie
- it turned out to be a great lunch!
Ingredients
One large Spanish Onion, peeled and chopped
2-3 fat cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
2-3 Tablespoons olive Oil
Generous wedge of unsalted butter (the secret ingredient to a delicious soup!)
One large Baking Potato, peeled and chopped into small cubes
1 litre of hot vegetable stock (I used two stock cubes)
Salt and pepper
Bags of ready washed spinach, watercress and rocket
Gem Lettuce (any lettuce will do!)
To Garnish
Swirl of natural yogurt, créme frâiche or cream
Handful toasted pine nuts or pumpkin seeds
Freshly chopped chives or parsley, or both
Gruyère topped baguette slices rubbed with garlic and lightly grilled
AND THIS IS WHAT YOU DO....
