  Wow, just made this soup with carrots, celery, onion, garlic and cauliflower. It was so delicious and simple. It will be a regular in my home.

  I love this recipe and use it often, the only thing I change is the quantity of vegetables to potato. I find 300g vege to 200g potato a better balance.

  I had no idea how to make soup, but this gives a really good idea. I now throw in just about anything -tomato or two, celery, graan beans...(but always a spud to thicken it) and keep a bit of veg stock on the side just in case it is a bit thick.

  This is a great way to use up whatever veg is lurking in the fridge. I like to make a batch of soup so tripled the amounts of veg and stock but kept the potato the same this worked well and was about the right consistency. The children loved it!

  Very nice, I fried some bacon and cut it into bits, so that one could help oneself to the bacon as decoration on the soup. Tasted yummy!

  My first attempt at making soup and it's delicious! So simple too. I used potatoes, carrots, parsnips, garlic and some mild chilli powder for a bit of a kick. Will definitely be making it again!

  Great. Very quick and easy. Good recipe as you can make it frequently but without getting bored as the veg is different each time.

  I cooked potaoes, 2 small cloves of garlic, leeks, parsnips and swede. I mashed them all together as don't have a blender then added veg stock to the right consintency so can be adjusted accordingly to however thick you want the soup to be. Then added a teaspoon of medium curry powder and fresh parsley and it is delicious :)

  I've never made a soup before, and this was easy and great for using up the leftovers of veg.. I used 3 Potatoes, A large parsnip, carrots, leek, onion, garlic and a few slices of fresh root ginger with some grated nutmeg and seasoning.. I like it! The rest of the house are yet to try it, fingers crossed!

  Good way to use up the tail enders of vegetables so this time it was potato, onion, cauliflower and mangetouts in a good turkey stock. Heartwarming stuff!

  Made soup today - it was lovely. I've used: 4 potatoes, 4 carrots, 1 small sweed, 2 small onions, 3 parsnips and a handful of frozen peppers and 2 cloves of garlic with salt and pepper to taste. I fried onion and garlic first then all the veg. Made a large pan full and once I'd blended it, it's a lovely thick tasty soup - mmmmm!!

  I used 500g casserole pack, 600g potatoes, 3 rashers smoked back bacon, 80g lentils, 2 teaspoons chilli flakes, ground pepper, 1500ml chicken stock - fried bacon and chilli flakes first then added veg for 5-10 mins before adding stock and pepper - delicious though next time will reduce amount of bacon as very smokey. Great way to use up veg destined for the bin!
