Potato Soup
"Most of us have potatoes and onions in the house even if the cupboard is otherwise bare, so you could make this delicious soup at a moment's notice. You can leave the herbs out, and you can garnish with anything you like: try fresh pesto, chunks of chorizo, or red pepper puree."

directions
- Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over a medium-low heat. When it foams, add the onion and potato.
- Season well, stir, then cover with a lid made from baking parchment, putting the paper on top of the vegetables.
- Cover the pan, turn the heat low and sweat over a gentle heat for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, bring the stock to the boil.
- When the vegetables are soft but not coloured add the freshly chopped herbs and stock and continue to cook until the potatoes are soft enough to crush.
- Purée the soup in a blender. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Thin with more stock or milk if you like.
- Serve sprinkled with a few chopped herbs and some chive or thyme flowers in season, or garnish with potato chips.

I live in Manchester, UK with my fiance and young son. I work at the local hospital in pediatrics and love my job. I also love cooking!! I have a sweet tooth but try and make healthy family meals, I'm not against some lovely treats now and then though :)
