Both the indoor and outdoor markets are open for business as usual today despite the snow. Why not pop down to the market and get some fresh vegetables from Adam Corbally to make a lovely big pot of home made soup - just the thing to keep out the cold. Accompanied by some bread from the Muffin Stall in the market hall it's a quick and easy meal for the whole family.
Here's my recipe for Winter Vegetable Soup.
2 carrots
1 large leek
1 onion
2 or 3 large potatoes
1 parsnip
water to cover
vegetable stock cube (I use Knorr)
seasoning to taste
herbs of your choice
Finely chop all your veg and put them into the saucepan and add enough water to just cover them. Add your herbs and your stock cube and simmer until the vegetables are soft. If you like a smooth soup you can blend it. Season to taste. I usually remove a ladle full of the veg before I blend it to add a bit of texture to the finished soup. You can make this with any vegetables you choose but I would recommend leaving out the green leaf veg as they can be a bit overpowering flavour wise.
Serve with chunks of bread for a complete meal to satisfy the biggest of appetites.
