Vegan recipesWinter vegetable soup
Peel and chop the potatoes, parsnips, swede and carrots roughly into 2cm cubes. Wash and slice the leeks and peel and chop the onions and garlic. Put enough olive oil in a big pan to cover the bottom and gently fry the vegetables in this order: potatoes, swede, parsnips, carrots, leeks, onions and garlic. With the lid on, cook gently, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are really soft. Meanwhile, make the stock by adding the stock cubes or bouillon to a litre of boiling water. For the first few months of weaning, just use water and leave out stock cubes. Add to the pan and bring to the boil, then simmer for five to ten minutes. Blend in the pan using a hand blender or in a food processor. Add salt and pepper to taste in the adult portions only. Serve with finely chopped parsley. Eat with crusty bread. Rice and oat cakes
