Watercress Soup - garlic

Method

• Prepare the carrots, garlic, onion and potatoes by peeling and cutting into rough chunks.
• In a deep pot add the water, the potatoes, garlic, and onion.
• Bring to the boil and cook for about 15 minutes.
• Once cooked let it sit for about half hour to cool down slightly.
• Place the contents in food processor and reduce to a pulp like mixture.
• Turn the heat back on and Add the liquid back to the pan.
• Add the olive oil, salt and stock cube.
• Stir occasionally.
• Bring to the boil.
• Boil for a further 2-3 minutes.
• Add the watercress to the pot.
• Add another half a litre of water.
• Stir, cover with lid and bring to the boil for a further 10-15 minutes.
• Once cooked rest for 10 minutes.
• Check seasoning and serve.
• Mine has a tendency to rise and spill especially with the lid shut, I normally have to stir often to keep it from spilling over the pot.
