Watercress soup
Ingredients
Serves 4-6
3 medium potatoes, peeled
1 medium leek
1 medium onion
1200 ml (2:108 lb:oz) of vegetable stock
160 g Watercress (5 tightly packed cups)
Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings:
1 nub of butter/ghee
Hemp seeds
Black pepper
Instructions
1) Roughly chop the vegetables and put them into a pot, omitting the watercress. Cover with the vegetable stock, season with salt and pepper and put the pot over medium/high heat.
2) Cover the pot and let the vegetables cook for 20mins (when the potatoes pierce easily with a fork). Reduce the heat to a simmer, and stir in the watercress. Cook for another 4 mins uncovered. Remove the pot from heat and blend the soup with an immersion blender or a regular blender.
3) Serve the soup with a nub of butter or ghee, and top with seeds of your choice.
