Answer 1

chop up your veg put in your pan with plenty of butter,on a low heat for 30-45 minutes. Now add a spoonful of flour and stir add salt and seasoning , a splash of milk and stir again. Add stock, put lid on and cook for 1 hour. Strain or sieve the liquid into another pan turn up the heat and stir and reduce slightly.

Serve ( if you have it a slug of sherry added just before serving really works)

Answer 2

Peel and chop the vegetables, put them in a pot. Add only enough stock to not quite cover them, and put on the heat underneath. When it starts to boil, turn the heat down low to let the soup cook. When all the veggies are soft, liquidise the soup, those 'wand' liquidisers are very useful.

You should add some fresh garlic and maybe some herbs, a spoonful of dried mixed herbs would be nice. If you have a leek that would also be nice, just cut off the root part and the older bits of the green leaves, clean out the soil and chop it up and add it. Turnip, squash, parsnips also go well in soup, peel them, chop them and remove any seeds and membrane, and put them in to cook with the rest. If you add these, a dash of paprika powder is nice too.

Answer 3

Right,here goes;chop the peeled potatoes in half,and boil for 15 mins in lightly salted water;remove and drain,keeping some of the water.
Chop the peeled carrots and onions,and fry in a little butter,or oil until the onions are "clear".
Put these into the soup pan,add the vegeable stock,season to taste and bring to the boil,adding your left-over potato water to thin,and the potatoes at the same time.Bring back to the boil,and lower the heat to a simmer.Add the boquet garni for 20mins,remove and if you want a smooth soup,put the liquid into a blender,straining afterwards,into the serving dishes,with a pinch or two of parsley if desired.

Answer 4

Add chopped onions to your pan that has a little warm oil in it only for 5 mins, if you like at this point add a chopped clove of garlic, add veg stock,bouquet garni, add chopped potatoes & carrots, leave to simmer for 30 mins or so until the veg is soft salt & pepper to your taste. Let it cool a little - blitz or stick blend,
Enjoy...and keep practising,- there's nothing better than home made soup and there ALL dead easy.Stick with it,good luck and enjoy.

Answer 5

I'd chop them all up - small diced. Add a courgette if you've got one, and a tin of tomatoes. Add the vegetable stock (make up a fair amount), and season. As well as the bouquet garni, I'd probably add a bit of chilli sauce and garlic, just for flavouring on that one. Cook for about 40-50 minutes until everything is cooked through, and all the flavours infused. Blitz in the blender if you want a smooth soup - I'd prefer to leave as chunky. You've got the basis for any vegetable soup with your ingredients - just add anything else you fancy.

Answer 6

chop carrots, potatoes and simmer in stock then add garnish and near the end onions and salt pepper. When I make soup it is carrots, turnip, leek parsley and stock cubes, sometimes I add barley or rice. Do not boil it as it can stick to pan, simmer for about an hour.

Answer 7

Fry the onions, grate the carrots, cut the potatos to small chunks, mix this with all the other ingredients, add some oatmeal and dried parsley if you have any otherwise this should do it.
