Vegetable soup is not a science. Cully & Sully use

• 1 mug of diced potato
• 1 mug of diced onion
• 1 generous cup of diced celeriac
• 1 generous cup of diced parsnip
• 1 scant cup of sliced (white of) leek
• 1 scant cup of chopped cauliflower
• 5-6 cups of tasty stock
• 1 cup of cream
• A big knob of butter and seasoning: salt, sugar and black pepper.

Remember you want this to be white so no green stuff!

Sweat the onions in a big knob of butter with salt and pepper until nice and soft. Add all the other vegetables and sweat for another 10 minutes, being very careful not to brown them. Add the stock and simmer until everything is soft. Liquidise and then if you want it extra smooth, sieve in a fine sieve, this is really worth it. Finally, add cream and adjust seasoning.

Tip - We highly recommend the sieving bit, taste it before and after, you'll be amazed by the difference. Also, don't worry if it's not really white after whizzing. The cream will sort this out!
