Warming Autumn Root Vegetable Soup

What better way to step into autumn than by enjoying the delicious comfort food it brings, like a savouring broth full of the season’s star veggies? Our power trio of parsnips, carrots and potatoes creates the most sumptuous soup that you’ll keep going back to any day the weather calls for an irresistibly cosy lunch.

Thick or thin, and easy to adapt with your favourite seasonings, this root veg soup tastes amazing however you choose to enjoy it. We recommend a swirl of cream or yoghurt, a sprinkling of cheese or some generously buttered thick slices of crusty bread. You can even fry up some bacon lardons or croutons while it’s sizzling away on the stove.
