Root veg soup

October 28, 2022 by HelloFitty Leave a Comment

There’s nothing more warming in winter than a filling root veg soup. And we’re all about healthy ‘fast food’ and with this recipe, we’re using ready-made carrot and parsnip mash, plus pumpkin. Ideal for busy households and parents.

Serves 6 | Cooking time: 45 mins

Ingredients:

  • 1 pack of Mash Direct Carrot & Parsnip Mash
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 2 sticks of celery (chopped)
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger (finely chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 cans vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 pumpkin (peeled, deseeded, diced)
  • 1 cup of water (more if needed)
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Heavy/whipping cream or fat free sour cream

Method

  1. Sauté the onion and celery in a large pot on a medium heat for five-seven minutes.
  1. Add the ginger and garlic to the pot, stir, and cook for two minutes until fragrant. Add the Mash Direct Carrot & Parsnip Mash, vegetable broth, pumpkin, water, dried thyme, cumin, and salt & pepper to taste.
  1. With the lid slightly ajar, simmer the soup on medium-low heat for about 30 minutes or until the vegetables have softened.
  1. Let the soup cool slightly, then purée in batches using a blender. If the soup is too thick, add water to thin it out a bit.
  1. Serve with a swirl of fat free sour cream if desired. For the spooky season, the spider web design can be made using a wooden kebab skewer.
