Winter Vegetable Soup

This vibrant winter vegetable soup is a comforting, plant-based dish that celebrates the naturally sweet and earthy flavours of seasonal root vegetables. Combining hearty sweet potatoes and gold potatoes with a fragrant hint of fresh dill, it offers a wonderful balance of textures. A portion of the soup is blended and returned to the pot, creating a beautifully thick and velvety base without the need for cream, making it a brilliant option for those seeking a lighter yet satisfying meal.

As a versatile vegan recipe, it is ideal for batch cooking or a quick midweek lunch. The addition of bright green peas and aromatic herbs provides a fresh finish to the savoury stock, ensuring every bowl feels nourishing and wholesome. Serve this nutritious soup with a slice of crusty wholegrain bread for a complete and warming winter feast.
