Watercress Soup (v)

This is a vibrant green colour (known in our house as green soup for obvious reasons) with a delicate flavour of watercress. I like it hot, though you can also serve it cold too if you fancied.

For 4-6 portions you need:
700g potatoes suitable for baking/mashing
1.5 litres veg stock
2 bags/bunches watercress
2 onions, chopped
2 tbsp butter/oil

Begin by frying the onions in the butter/oil for a few mins. Then add the peeled and chopped potatoes. Cover with the stock and cook for about 15 mins till the potatoes are tender. Turn off the heat and add the watercress. Blitz and season. Gently reheat, adding some more stock or soya milk if it's too thick. Serve with crusty bread. Yummy.
