Hearty Vegetable Soup

Preparation time 15 minutes Cooking time 10 minutes

Ingredients

2 Medium Carrots
2 stick celery
3 cloves garlic
1 medium leek
1 medium Onion
50g SuperValu Butter
300g SuperValu Butternut Squash
1 x Sweet Potatoes
1200 ml Chicken Stock Cube

Method
Begin by chopping all of the vegetables and garlic
Melt the butter in a large saucepan and then add in the vegetables in the beginning to soften
Next add in approximately two thirds of the chicken or vegetable stock and bring the mixture to soil boil and then reduce the heat and simmer for an additional 15 – 20 minutes or until all of the vegetables have softened down completely.
Using a hand blitzer, blitz the soup until it is nice and smooth. Return to the heat and bring back to a very gentle boil.
If you would like a thinner soup, now would be the best time to add some additional stock to thin it down. Correct the seasoning at this stage also.

Transfer it to your serving bowls or cups and drink while hot!
