Method

Prep time: 20 mins Cook time: 25 mins

In a large pan, add the butter and oil and heat over a medium-high heat. When the butter foams, add the onion and cook for 2 minutes. Tip in the veg and cook for a further 5 minutes until they start to soften. Pour in the stock and bring to the boil and lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Season and then either enjoy as chunky vegetable broth or blitz with a hand blender for a smooth soup.

Stir in the cream just before serving and gently heat through, but don’t boil.
