Ingredients: 4 oz (120g) prepared weight of Onions or Leeks chopped quite finely; 4 oz (120g) prepared weight of Pumpkin (we use butternut because we grow it) diced into 4 - 5mm pieces, you can also use courgettes; 3 heaped (25ml) teaspoons of Knorr vegetable stock powder or another good quality stock base; 3 (1.7L) pints water; 400g can chopped tomatoes; Mixed herbs according to taste. We sometimes use an Italian mix that has a small amount of chilli in it but you can use Herbs de Provence or any standard mix that you prefer.; Salt and pepper to taste; Carrots 4 - 5mm dice; Turnips 4 - 5mm dice; Swede 4 - 5mm dice; Potatoes 4 - 5mm dice (use a variety that does not mush down when boiled); Beetroot 4 - 5mm dice (note that this will impart a definite colour to the soup) do not mix with potato or parsnip. The soup is best blended if beetroot is used.; Parsnips 4 - 5mm dice (these are high in carbohydrates and so will make the calorie count higher) do not mix with potato or beetroot. The soup is best blended if parsnip is used.
