Watercress Soup

Watercress is regarded as a "superfood" and good for you in many ways. Try telling that to your kids, though - most will turn up their noses at it, however you present it! We have had success with this watercress soup, which has a creamy green color and a lovely light flavor, which is just as appropriate on the family supper table as at a dinner party.

Serves 4. You can also make this in bulk to freeze; just add cream after thawing.

Ingredients:

1 large onion
2 large floury potatoes
1 oz butter
3 bunches of watercress
1 ¾ pints chicken stock
Salt and pepper (pepper corns work well)
Slurp of single cream

Instructions:

Chop onion and cube potatoes.

Melt butter in a saucepan, add onions and potatoes and turn till coated in butter. Sweat gently for 5 minutes.

Add chicken stock to pan, and boil gently until tender

Chop watercress, reserving some whole leaves for garnish if required. Add to saucepan, bringing back to boil and simmering for a minute or two.

Blend. Return to pan and reheat, checking seasoning. Stir in the single cream and serve hot or cold.
