Classic Farmhouse Country Vegetable Soup
Method
Prepare Base: Layer the diced carrots, swede, potatoes, leeks, celery, and protein-rich red lentils directly into your electric soup maker jug.
Season & Fill: Crumble in the vegetable stock cube, add the dried thyme, and season gently with salt and pepper before pouring in the boiling water up to the fill line.
Cook: Secure the lid, select the Chunky setting, and allow the automated cycle to gently simmer the root vegetables until perfectly tender.
Finish & Serve: Stir through the fresh parsley, ladle into warm bowls, and serve alongside toasted sourdough for a gut-friendly, fiber-packed meal.
Cooking Hack: Keep your root vegetable cubes to a uniform 1cm size. This ensures the swede and potatoes soften completely within the soup maker’s quick 25-minute chunky cycle without requiring any pre-boiling on the hob.
