Autumn Soup


Serves 4.

Ingredients:
½ onion, chopped.
1 medium butternut squash, peeled and chopped into chunks.
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and chopped.
5 small (salad/new) potatoes, chopped.
½ celeriac, peel and chopped.
1 granny smith apple, peeled and chopped.
4 cups of vegetable stock (I used one veg stock cube)
1 tsp of mixed spice.
Salt and pepper to season.
2 bacon medallions, chopped.

Method:
I have a soup maker so I just popped all the ingredients apart from the bacon into the maker & set it to smooth. I did a second quick blend to ensure it was very smooth.

Alternatively:
In a large heavy pot, pop all your chopped vegetables in and pour in the stock.
Cover and leave to simmer on a medium heat until the vegetables are soft.
Remove from heat and using a hand blender, blitz until smooth.
In a separate pan, fry off the bacon until crisp.
Serve with the chopped bacon on top and season to taste.
