Ingredients:
- 2 x white onions
- 2 x sticks celery
- 5 x carrots
- 1 x baking potato
- 1 x sweet potato
- 1 x courgette
- 2 x vegetable stock cubes (I use low salt ones for the girls)
- 1.5 pints boiling water
It works just as well without celery and sweet potato, these were things I added to the original recipe as they needed using up and the more vegetables the merrier right? The original recipe was given to me by my mum and consists of 2 onions, 2 courgettes and 2 baking potatoes, 6 carrots plus the stock cubes and water. She used to make it for us in winter for after school. I can remember catching a smell of it when we got off the school bus and racing home for a bowl. I love that I now make it for my girls.
Method
- Chop and soften the onions and celery in a pan with some butter whilst chopping the other vegetables.
- Add all the other vegetables and 'sweat' for 10 mins with the lid on, stirring regularly.
- Add your stock cubes and boiling water and simmer for 20-30 mins.
- Whizz up and serve with crusty bread.
- Season with salt and pepper as desired.

It can be frozen or keeps in the fridge for a few days. Why not pin this recipe to Pinterest for later?
Enjoy!
