Remiss in the soup department

Green, peppery, yummy.

It's been a while since we had a soup recipe. So bearing in mind that seasonality is all, and we are just into Spring, what could be better than watercress soup. I love watercress soup, it's so light and tasty and satisfying.

Watercress soup

1 onion finely chopped
1/2 oz butter
2 medium sized potatoes, chopped
1 bunch of watercress, cleaned and chopped
1.5 pints vegetable stock
1 tablespoon chives
1oz flat leaf parsley, chopped
1/4 pint cream
salt and black pepper
lemon juice
dash tabasco sauce

Gently saute the onion in the butter until soft, add the potato and stock. Simmer until the potato is tender. Add watercress, and simmer for five minutes. Add chives and parsley, and remove from the heat. Liquidise and add tabasco, salt and pepper, cream and a few drops of lemon juice. Add a bit more pepper and serve.

You can add a tablespoon of greek yoghurt to garnish, or another swirl of cream. Yummy.

Sounds delish, but when do you add the watercress?

Oops - corrected! I missed a step out!
