1. Roughly chop the onion and place in a large pan for a few mins to brown. Chop all other veg and throw in.

2. Make up 900ml vegetable stock with boiling water and pour over the veg., also add the coriander and garlic granules.

3. Place the pan on a medium heat, allow the soup to boil until all the veg is softened (around 15-20 minutes). Season to taste

4. Remove from the heat, you can serve as it is, nice and chunky, or pour into a blender and blend for 1 minute until smooth, fabulous for dipping bread into! Serve and drizzle on a little cream if desired.

NB. You can also do this in a soup maker, just chuck it all in!

Recipe is vegan if cream isn't used.
