This usually just involves whatever you have in your vegetable drawer over winter. Don’t be too strict with your choice of ingredients, just enjoy the soup when it’s ready. This version is red onion, potatoes, leek, turnip and carrot.

Total time
Author: Lesley Smith
Recipe type: Soup
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
- 150g Red Onions (Sliced)
- 150g Leek (Chopped)
- 100g Carrot (Sliced)
- 100g Swede (or Turnip) (Chopped)
- 200g Baby Potatoes (Washed and Thrown In Whole)
- 50g Butter
- 1 Chicken Stock Pot
- 800ml Boiling Water or Stock
Instructions
- Saute your onions and leek for a couple of minutes, until they're soft, but still light in colour.
- Add all your ingredients to the pot, stir well and select your chosen setting.
- We like smooth soups most, so we chose the smooth option on our Morphy Richards. If you are going for chunky soup, you might prefer to chop your vegetables smaller and peel your baby potatoes.
- Serve hot with fresh bread.

March 1, 2018 at 11:23 amGreetings everyone, yep soupmakers rock!! I like to add some lovely herbs to make my version a little bit dynamic . Garlic, bit of mixed herbs & if feeling in need of that little warmth some chilly flakes and pop in handful of spinach. Delicious. Got my bread warming in oven as we speak and looking for a happy retro-classic film to watch while I took in on my day off. Happy days folks.

March 10, 2018 at 1:12 pmSounds like you had a fab day. My current soupmaker has ended its life, so I’m on the hunt for a new one. Can’t be without one for long… I’m suffering withdrawal as it is….

February 20, 2018 at 10:24 amHi. I love your leek & potato soup it has quickly become a family favourite. I am wanting to try more soup recipes.
On this recipe the ingredients state using a chicken stock pot. I’m not 100% sure what a stock pot is, so could I use a stock cube instead or does it need to be a stockpot?
Another quick question….
Can I use a soup & broth mix in the soup maker? If so do the timings need to be changed at all. The package states it’s to be cooked for 50 minutes. Any advice is greatly appreciated..
Thank you.
Sandy

March 10, 2018 at 1:16 pmSorry Sandy. A stock pot, is just like a stock cube, but is in a jellied form. Stock cubes are fine. I do use soup and broth mix in my soupmaker, but I have a non stick version. I haven’t changed timings and it worked out for me. The only way to know is to try it. Some barleys are faster cooking than others though, so if it says 50 to cook, is that for the broth mix?

November 5, 2017 at 11:34 amWhy is there chicken stock in your vegetable soup?
Scottish Mum says
November 7, 2017 at 4:07 pmGood question. It’s winter vegetable, not vegetarian/vegan soup. I like it with chicken stock, but it isn’t chicken soup, as it’s just a stock cube or stock pots for this version. Vegetarians, vegans or anyone who likes to eliminate all meat products, would replace the stock with vegetarian/vegan friendly versions.
