dice onions (about 3 of them..)

dice five carrots

dice five potatoes

2 red or yellow peppers

2 celery sticks thickly chopped

1 parsnip

boil for an hour to soften the veggies

then put the boiled mix in the blender in parts as much as your blender can take and press the switch button(make sure you have the lid screwed on securely)..

and there is your thick soup paste!

If you search this forum you'll find all these previous threads containing recipes http://www.boards.ie/search2/submit/?subforums=1&forum=610&query=Soup

As a general rule, it's a litre of stock to 500g of vegetables of your choice for soup.

I made an absolutely yummy think veg soup the other day from dregs that were leftover in my freezer and cupboards!

Garlic (melted in a little butter)
Assortment of frozen veg
Stock of your choice
Along with....
Tinned green lentils
Corriander (heaps, cause its soooo good on these rainy days)
Chilli
Paprika
Salt & pepper

...And then cause i had to use it up, a drip (or more) of cream on top before serving...

Delicious......:)

i find potatoes thicken the soup lovely

pick whatever ingredients you wish.

separate 1/2 of the veggies and put aside, boil the rest for 30 min.

The other 1/2 put into the blender and mix there.

after 30 min add blended vegetables into the soup and cook for another 30min.

Lovely thick soup.

I'd try the potato as thickener. Try pureeing a few and adding back to pot. Should make a creamy base.

Potatoes definitely thicken it. After cooking and if I'm reheating I'll always throw some milk in to give it a smoother texture.

Instead of dirtying a food processor, I have grated potatoes in the past with a cheese grater. All the starch falls out, they are thin so cook fast and just break up into the liquid.

This recipe uses lentils and is thick and very tasty. I substitute parsnip for some of the carrot.

I'd go easy on the potato, I found it completely killed the other flavours in my soup when I tried it before.

Cook it twice.
