Method

  • step 1

    Chop the onion, carrot, celery and garlic in a food processor. Heat the oil over a medium heat in a large saucepan. Add the vegetables and potatoes, season well, then reduce the heat and cover the pan. Gently cook for about 5 mins until starting to soften, then add the stock, turn up the heat and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 mins more, or until all the vegetables are tender.

  • step 2

    While the soup is cooking, grill or fry the bacon until crisp, then cut into strips. Shred the cabbage, discarding the core.

  • step 3

    Whizz the soup in the food processor until smooth, then return to the pan and add the cabbage. Simmer for a few mins until the cabbage is just tender, then season to taste and serve scattered with the bacon.

RECIPE TIPS
MAKE IT A CHICKEN STEW

QUICK CHICKEN WITH LEEKS & CABBAGE

Cut 4 chicken breasts into large chunks and chop

the bacon. Heat the oil in a frying pan, fry together

until golden, then remove. Add a little more oil, then

fry 4 small, finely sliced leeks, the potatoes and

the carrot, finely sliced, for few mins. Add stock as

before. Once the potato is tender, add the chicken

and cabbage and simmer for 5 mins. Leave the

stew chunky and serve with crusty bread.

I found this soup much too potatoey and powdery, so I simply halved the amount of spuds, added extra carrots, celery and three large tomatoes - and it was delicious!

I have an old version of this recipe which uses 1 can of cannellini beans instead of potatoes and the soup is not processed but left chunky. It's delicious. Hope this helps.

Put all the ingredients (apart from bacon) into my soup maker. Press smooth soup then start. 30 minutes later beautiful soup. Really loved this soup.

question

I don't understand how much 1l chicken or vegetable stock is. How many cups? Help please!

:) when I first read the recipe I saw that as "11" reading it a second time I realized it was 1 liter, so a little over 4 cups. Most glass measuring cups (at least Pyrex and Anchor Hocking) have liters on the back side if you're right handed. Hope this helps

Good recipe, I switched leek out for the carrot and celery which also worked really well.
