Potato Base Creamy Vegetable Soup Recipe

There is nothing more comforting healthy meals than a hot bowl of creamy soup on a cold winter night. This is a potato base creamy vegetable soup recipe with bockwurst and it is ready in less than 1hr! 




Ingredients:

6 medium/ large potatoes, peeled and diced
3-4 carrots, peeled and diced
3 cloves of garlic
1 shallot, roughly chopped
1 large leek, cleaned and chopped
1/4 celery root, diced
20g cauliflower, roughly chopped
1 tsp parsley, finely chopped
1 litre vegetable broth
1/4 cup sherry
1tsp thyme
1tsp marjoram (or oregano)
pepper
5 Bockwurst, chopped

Preparation:

In a big pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil and add all the vegetables EXCEPT Leek . Bring to boil and reduce heat to medium low, leaving lid ajar, let the soup simmer for about 15mins.

Then add sherry, thyme, marjoram, pepper and leek. continue to let it simmer for about 30mins.

After 30mins taste the soup and season with more salt and pepper to your liking. I did not need to add salt since the broth ‘seasoned’ the soup already.

To make the soup creamy, puree the soup either in the pot with a hand blender or let it cool for 10mins and blend it in a blender .

Return soup to pot (If using a blender) and add the chopped Bockwurst for a min, just to heat the Bockwurst.

Serve!
