Ingredients
  

  • 150 grams Watercress
  • 150 grams Rocket
  • 1 small Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 large Potato
  • 1000 ml Vegetable stock

Instructions
 

Prep

  • Chop the onion reasonably finely
  • Mince or chop the garlic finely
  • Peel the potato and cut into 1 cm cubes. Place in a small bowl of water to prevent it browning
  • Remove any particularly tough stalks from your greens but no need to be too fussy. Rinse under running water and drain

To Make

  • Warm a decent splash of oil in the pan over a medium heat and add your onions with a small pinch of salt. Cover with the lids and cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened
  • Add the garlic and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, stirring
  • Add the stock and potato and bring to a slow simmer
  • Reduce heat to medium low, cover and cook for 5 minutes until the potato is soft
  • Add the greens, mix well and cook for a further 3 minutes
  • Remove from the heat and blend well until the soup is velvety smooth

To Serve

  • Serve in a warmed soup bowl perhaps with some dots of cream and some watercress or rocket garnish
