So… we had a couple of days of pure heat, proper warm weather and then BAM we’re back to freezing our butts off! Standard British weather if you ask me. Thinking that the little snippet of more spring-like weather would take us nicely into those lighter meals completely turned tables when it started snowing on Monday. Taking advantage of the produce of this time of the month I decided to make a good, hearty soup; something to keep you nice and warm for the wintery weather we are having. I hope you all enjoy it 🙂
Serves 2
Ingredients:
- 125g asparagus tips, roughly chopped
- 1 large potato, peeled and chopped
- 400ml vegetable stock
- 1 shallot, diced
- 2 sage leaves
- 2 small garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Method:
- In a pan, fry the garlic, shallot and sage in the oil for 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper (medium heat).
- Add the potato and asparagus and fry for a further 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in the vegetable stock, mix well and leave to cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through.
- In a food processor or using a hand blender blitz the soup until smooth, add more water if the consistency is too thick for your liking. Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil when serving (optional).
Enjoy!
