Step 7

Pour in the stock, topping up if necessary just to cover the veg.

Step 8

Simmer for 25-30 minutes until all the vegetables are tender.

Step 9

Purée with a blender until smooth.

Dilute the consistency with more water if needed, until you get a thick but easily pourable soup.

Eat straight away or chill in the fridge to reheat.

Step 13

Finish with an extra grind of black pepper, to serve, if you like.
