I have a particular fondness for soups. They are delicious and easily done, be it as a starter or a main course. Especially during the cold winter months I really like soup. It is very warming.

Clear Vegetable Soup

1 tablespoon butter OR oil of choice 1 small onion 1 small carrot 1 small leek 1 small piece of celeriac 1 thick slice of butternut squash Vegetable stock Peel and wash vegetables and cut into very small pieces Heat butter or oil in pan Add ingredients and gently fry for a couple of minutes Add vegetable stock and simmer for 15 minutes

Thick Vegetable Soup

1 tablespoon butter OR oil of choice 1 onion 2 carrots 1 leek 1/4 - 1/2 of celeriac (depends on size) 1 thick slice of butternut squash 2 medium sized potatoes Any other vegetable such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, fennel etc in small quantities (whatever you have in and think might go well with the rest) 1 hand full of uncooked, washed red lentils Vegetable stock Peel and wash vegetables and cut into fairly large chunks (1 1/2 inch) Heat butter or oil in pan Add ingredients and gently fry for a few minutes Add vegetable stock and simmer for 20 minutes Drain into colander over a clean new pan Mash the vegetable mix very finely, a "passevite" is ideal Add vegetable mix back to liquid, stir well and serve Garnish with finely chopped parsley and chives A dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche can be added to the plate. I particularly like grated cheese. Serve with fresh crusty bread.

I hope that you will try the soups and please let me know if you liked them.
