Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2-3 medium potatoes, chopped into cubes
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 1 parsnip, chopped
- 1 litre vegetable stock (we like Knorr)
- 100ml double cream
Method
- Over a medium-high heat, melt the butter with the oil in a big pan. When the butter foams, add the onion and fry for 2 minutes. Add the veg and cook for 6-10 minutes until they start to soften. Add the stock and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
- Season, then enjoy as chunky veg broth or whizz with a hand blender to make a smooth soup. Stir in the cream before serving.
