I just made a lovely pan of soup for lunch and it was so delicious I thought I better blog it fast whilst i remember what I did!
- 2 large onions, chopped
- 6 shallots, chopped
- 4 fat cloves garlic, chopped roughly
- 4 medium sized potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1cm cubes
- 1.5 pints vegetable stock
- 1 glass white wine
- dollop of cream/soya cream
- salt
- white pepper
- 1.5 oz italian hard cheese/vegan equivalent, finely grated
- chives
- rapeseed oil
- Slowly soften the onion, shallots and garlic in the oil, in a large saucepan. You don’t want them to colour at this is a pale soup.
- Add the potatoes, wine and stock. Season with salt and a little white pepper.
- Bring to the boil and simmer until the potatoes are tender.
- Turn out the heat, and blitz until smooth.
- Add the cream. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Add the cheese and stir to dissolve.
- Serve in your favourite soup bowl with some freshly snipped chives on top.
