Creamy Carrot & Potato Soup

Hey  there.... my name is Dylan and welcome to my food blog.
 I work full time as a chef and I would love to share some simple easy and effective  
 recipes with the world.

 I  want to start with something very simple but also very tasty.

  CREAMY CARROT & POTATO SOUP
serves roughly 8 -10 small bowls.



INGREDIENTS
6 large carrots peeled and chopped
2 large potatoes peeled and chopped
1 onion finely chopped
1 tablespoon of vegetable stock
1000 ml of water
100 ml of double cream




METHOD

Make up the veg stock by boiling the water  adding the veg boullion and giving it a good stir (with a whisk).

Heat the oil in the pan, add the roughly chopped onions, cook out for 3 minutes making sure not to brown them, then add the potatoes, carrots and veg stock.

At this stage, add a teaspoon of pepper and a half tablespoon of salt.

Leave to cook for 15 mins and then give it a good stir.

Leave for another half  hour on a low heat.

Now, add about 100 ml of double cream .

And you are ready to blitz, this should make it smooth and creamy., serve with a nice wedge of crusty bread and real whipped butter.

ALSO If you like spice add in a teaspoon of chilly flakes when frying your onions and this will give it a lovely spicy bite.

Please let me know how it goes in the comments.
