Carrot and Cheddar Soup

Carrot and Cheddar Soup - Samantha Style

Easy Peasy.
Recipe makes 4-6 portions.

Butter 25g (low fat spread)
1 small onion - roughly chopped
500g carrots 0 chopped
140g (one medium) potato - chopped
100g grated mature cheddar
Stock Cube - 1 (vegetable)
Water 1.2 litre
150ml milk (soya)



  • Melt the butter over a low heat and add the onion, carrot and potato.
  • Fry gently for 10 minutes until onion is soft.
  • Add the stock and bring to the boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes until vegetables are soft
  • Blend until smooth
  • Add the cheese and blend again
  • Add the milk and reheat gently
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve.

Note:
I am very particular about my pepper. I say crush mixed peppercorns.
In my opinion every soup should be served with french crusty buttered bread.

Enjoy :)
