1 medium onion
2 sticks of celery
1 medium leek
2 cloves of garlic
olive oil
3 medium potatoes
2 courgettes
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 organic vegetable stock cube, or 1.4 litres hot fresh vegetable stock
100 g podded fresh peas, or broad beans
200 g baby spinach
a few sprigs of fresh mint
1. Peel and roughly chop the onion on a chopping board, then place in a large bowl.
2. Trim and roughly chop the celery and leek (make sure you wash it really well) and add to the onion.
3. Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves and add to the bowl of chopped vegetables.
4. Place a large pot on a medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
5. Once hot, add all the chopped vegetables, turn the heat down to low and cook with the lid askew for 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile…
6. Peel the potatoes using a Y-shaped peeler, then chop into rough 2cm chunks and place in the empty bowl.
7. Chop the courgettes into rough 2cm chunks and place in the bowl with the potatoes.
8. Fill and boil the kettle.
9. Once the vegetables are cooked, add the potatoes, courgettes and a tiny pinch of salt and pepper.
10. Crumble the stock cube (if using) into a measuring jug and carefully top up to 1.4 litres with boiling water and stir until dissolved.
11. Carefully pour the hot stock into the pot.
12. Turn the heat up to high and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the potato is cooked through.
13. Add the peas or beans and the spinach and cook for a further 4 minutes, or until the peas are tender.
14. Carefully remove the pot to a heatproof surface and leave for a minute or two to stop bubbling.
15. Carefully blitz with a stick blender until smooth (use a tea towel to protect your hands from little splashes).
16. Have a taste and add a tiny pinch of salt and pepper if you think it needs it.
17. Pick and roughly chop the mint leaves, discarding the stalks.
18. Carefully ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle over the mint – it's delicious served with homemade croutons.
6 rashers higher-welfare smoked streaky bacon, chopped
2 red onions, peeled and chopped
2 carrots, scrubbed and chopped
3 sticks celery, trimmed and chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
a few sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
olive oil
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ dried chilli, crumbled
200 g dried lentils, a mixture of green and red
1 organic vegetable stock cube, optional
410 g tinned cannellini beans, drained
extra virgin olive oil
Place a large saucepan (with a lid) on a medium heat. Add a lug of olive oil and the bacon. Fry slowly until the bacon has started to release all its tasty fat and goes crispy, then add the dried thyme, dried chilli, onion, carrot, celery and garlic.
Cook gently with the lid on for about 15 minutes, until all the vegetables are soft, then add the lentils and 1 litre water or vegetable stock. Bring to the boil and simmer until the lentils are soft. (Check the packet instructions as different types of lentils vary in cooking time. If you're mixing your lentils, cook for the longest amount of time to make sure they are all cooked properly).
Add the tin of cannellini beans and, if the soup's a little thick, some more water. Bring back to the boil and simmer for another 10 minutes, then taste and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Ladle into bowls and finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and the chopped parsley. Serve with hunks of bread.
