Grandma's Chunky Veg soup - slow cooker

I know its spring, and we should be eating salads and jacket potatoes, but I couldn't resist sharing this Chunky vegetable soup recipe. Although soup is traditionally a winter food, this soup is so fresh and tasty it really could be eaten any time of year! Its super full of goodness too!

Enjoy :)

You will need

50g butter

2 Carrots, chopped

1 Onion, chopped

2 Celery sticks, chopped

1 Parsnip, chopped

1 Potato, chopped

1 Leek, peeled and chopped

2 tbsp chopped Parsley

200ml hot vegetable or chicken stock

Salt and Pepper to season

Heat the butter in a sauce pan and fry off the onions

Add 200mls of stock to your slow cooker

Add all your chopped veg into the slow cooker

Once onions are golden and soft also add them to the slow cooker

Heat for 4-6 hours

When cooked, use a potato masher to mash a little of the soup, leaving a little of the rough texture

Eat warm
