Spiced and Golden Winter Vegetable Soup
IA golden coloured and comforting soup using seasonal vegetables. You can make this vegan by using coconut oil instead of butter. Either way, serve some Ready To Bake Multi-Seed Rolls with it - it’s the perfect bread to dip into this delicious soup.
Serves: 6
Takes: 50 minutes
Ingredients
1 pack Paul Hollywood Ready To Bake Multi-Seed Rolls
1 tbs butter or coconut oil
1 tbs vegetable oil
1 medium cauliflower, cut into florets (you can keep a few of the inner leaves on), washed
2-3 parsnips, peeled and diced
1 large leek, washed and sliced
1 large sweet potato
¼ tsp ground turmeric
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground cumin
Large pinch cayenne or chilli powder
1 litre vegetable stock
Black pepper
200ml coconut milk (from a tin)
To garnish
Cumin seeds
Chilli oil
Fresh coriander
Method
Heat the oil and butter or coconut oil in a very large saucepan over a low heat. Add all the vegetables and stir then add the dried spices and fry for about 5 minutes
Add the stock and black pepper then simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the vegetables are tender
While the soup is simmering, preheat the oven and bake the crusty rolls according to the pack instructions
Stir the coconut milk into the soup and bring to a very gentle simmer for a few more minutes. Use a stick or jug blender to blend the soup until it is smooth. Alternatively, leave in a few chunks for texture
Ladle the soup into warm bowls and garnish each with a swirl of chilli oil, a few cumin seeds and some chopped coriander
Serve with the warm rolls on the side for dipping in
